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?
Statement from DGA Chair Martin O'Malley on April Jobs Report
Governor Martin O’Malley, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, released the following statement today after the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the economy added 115,000 jobs in April, and the unemployment rate dropped slightly to 8.1 percent:
“Today’s jobs report shows that our economy continues to make steady progress, and while we have much work to do to continue our recovery, our country has now seen 26 straight months of private sector job growth under President Obama’s leadership. With private businesses creating 130,000 new jobs in April and the unemployment rate driven down to a three-year-low, we are moving in the right direction toward full recovery. Democratic governors will continue to work to create jobs, expand opportunity, and make the modern investments a modern economy needs to promote continued growth in their states, making steady progress to revitalize our economy.”
