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?

NEW: Alliance for a Better RI Ad Outlines Helena Foulkes’ Record of Standing Up to Special Interests and Her Agenda to Lower Costs
Today, Alliance for a Better Rhode Island, a group backed by the Democratic Governors Association, released an ad in the Rhode Island governor’s race, highlighting Helena Foulkes’ record of successfully taking on special interests like Big Tobacco and her plans to lower costs as governor.
While president of CVS Pharmacy, Foulkes stood up to Big Tobacco and removed tobacco products from store shelves to protect people’s health. As Governor, she’ll fight costly utility rate increases and stop Wall Street from buying up homes and making it harder for Rhode Islanders to buy a house.
