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?
Tim Pawlenty Files Fundraising Committee For Governor, Forgets His Record As Governor
In what clearly must be an inside joke, Tim Pawlenty filed a fundraising committee to run for governor today. His candidacy is based on the bold notion that his two failed terms as governor taught him “what it takes to lead [Minnesota] in the right direction.”
What’s Pawlenty’s vision of the “right direction”?
Based on the evidence, it’s more than 200,000 people out of work, $2 billion in school debt, and a $6 billion deficit with zero in reserves.
“Maybe Pawlenty’s compass is broken, as he clearly doesn’t have any sense of direction,” said Deputy Communications Director David Turner. “He’s kicking off his campaign in Naples, Florida, and now he believes higher unemployment, a ballooning deficit, and school funding cuts are a record of accomplishment. Minnesotans have been moving in the right direction ever since Pawlenty moved to D.C. to become Wall Street’s lobbyist, and they don’t want him back.”
