Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Rauner’s Latest Fail: Finding Grassroots Supporters
Yesterday, Governor Bruce Rauner launched a new series called “Back Bruce” that profiles Rauner’s “strongest supporters” in a failed attempt to show his grassroots support. The only problem? So far, the only “supporters” Rauner’s campaign could find were Republican elected officials or candidates. One testimonial came from former house candidate Wendy Erhart, who received $50,000 from the largely Rauner-funded House Republican Organization.
“It’s not surprising Bruce Rauner cannot find any Illinois voters that want to vouch for him after forcing the state through a three year of budget crisis,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “While his grassroots support dries up, millions of Illinois residents hurt by Rauner’s failed policies are waiting to express their unhappiness with his leadership at the ballot box.”
