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 Governor Shumlin on President Obama’s Personnel Announcements
Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, today issued the following statement regarding President Obama’s personnel announcements:
“In nominating HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan as OMB Director and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro to replace him as HUD Secretary, President Obama has chosen strong public servants who are focused on expanding economic opportunity to all Americans. Both Secretary Donovan and Mayor Castro are leaders of tremendous integrity and credentials and will help implement our shared goals of creating jobs, strengthening the middle class, and growing the economy.
“Democratic governors across the country are promoting innovation and job creation through smart investments in education, energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure, all while working across party lines to foster the environment for businesses to grow. But our governors need willing and able partners in Washington to build on those successes, and that’s exactly what the President has provided with these nominations.”
