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?
Statement from DGA Chair Governor Peter Shumlin on November Jobs Report
Washington, DC – Governor Peter Shumlin, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, released the following statement today after the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the economy added 146,000 jobs in November and unemployment had been driven down to 7.7 percent:
“Today’s jobs report shows that our economic recovery continues under President Obama’s leadership. Unemployment has been driven down to a four-year low, and Americans created 146,000 jobs last month. The private sector continues to lead the way, creating jobs for 33 months in a row.
“There is still much work to be done, and our recovery is threatened by the failure of Congress to work together on a balanced solution to avert the fiscal cliff. They must act immediately to prevent taxes from going up on middle class Americans, damaging consumer confidence, and slowing our recovery.
“Democratic governors will continue to fight for middle class families as we work to create jobs and expand opportunity.”
