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 DGA Video Highlights “Slugfest” Debate Between Rick Jackson and Burt Jones 

The DGA released a new video today titled “Slugfest” highlighting this week’s Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia, where Rick Jackson and Burt Jones tore into each other with vicious personal attacks and devastating accusations of corruption.

The video zooms in on the candidates exchanging explosive accusations of abuse of taxpayer money to boost their personal fortunes, their praise for Donald Trump’s cost-raising agenda, and even Jackson’s awkward stumbles. The debate was the first and only face-to-face meeting between Jackson, Jones, and the rest of the Republican field in a race that has been called the most contentious primary in modern Georgia political history.

“Monday’s debate was a disaster for Republicans. No matter who wins, the GOP is going to be stuck with a nominee with a record of self-enrichment in office who is completely tied to Donald Trump’s deeply unpopular administration. It’s no wonder Republicans only wanted one debate!” said DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe.
