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?
In Wake of Abortion Ban in Arizona, Katie Hobbs Speaks out While Kari Lake Dodges
Katie Hobbs reaffirmed her commitment to protecting reproductive rights after a court decision reinstated a Civil War-era law in Arizona banning abortion in nearly all circumstances and criminalizing medical providers who provide abortions.
In a press conference, Hobbs vowed to overturn the law, saying, “on day one, I will call a special session of the state Legislature to overturn this draconian law.”
The draconian abortion ban is making it even more clear that when it comes to women’s reproductive rights, Katie Hobbs and Kari Lake couldn’t be further apart: While Katie Hobbs promised to do “everything in [her] power..to restore abortion rights,” Kari Lake has offered nothing but crickets.
Lake is refusing to comment on the ruling, but she’s already told Arizonans she supports taking their rights away. She’s been clear that she supports the abortion ban and will enforce it if elected governor, calling it a “great law.” Her campaign has also called women who get abortions “executioners”
DGA Senior Communications Advisor Christina Amestoy said, “Women’s reproductive freedoms were on the ballot in the Arizona governor’s race even before this court ruling. Now, the stakes are even higher and the choice couldn’t be clearer: Kari Lake would leave Arizona women’s rights on the chopping block and Katie Hobbs is the only candidate who will work to restore the right for women to make their own reproductive health care decisions.”
