Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
ICYMI: Reynolds Fired Medicaid Adviser Who Spoke Up for Iowans With Disabilities
In case you missed it, the Des Moines Register reported yesterday that Kim Reynolds fired the co-chairman of Iowa’s Medical Assistance Advisory Council for daring to challenge how her botched privatized Medicaid scheme has treated Iowans with disabilities. This adviser had previously strongly backed Medicaid privatization, but asked “hard questions” when his own son and other Iowans experienced cuts to the services they need.
David Hudson told the Des Moines Register, “I felt that I was asking the questions the governor should have been asking… I guess I pushed back too hard or something.”
