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?
VIDEO: “Not the End of the World”: Tone-Deaf Hogan Brushes Off 1,300 Lost Jobs in Maryland
In a shockingly tone-deaf reaction to news that 1,300 Maryland jobs are being being shipped to New York, Governor Larry Hogan remarked yesterday that this announcement is “not the end of the world.”
His flippant and disrespectful attitude poses a marked contrast to his rhetoric in 2014 when his campaign repeatedly used debunked talking points to bash the state for losing Fortune 500 companies, saying that such job losses are “just simply unacceptable and something we’ve got to change” and “would change on day one in our administration.” In fact, Hogan is the first Maryland Governor in decades to lose a Fortune 500 company to another state.
“This is a massive failure of leadership for Governor Hogan, who campaigned on keeping Fortune 500 companies in Maryland,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “Governor Hogan is shockingly out-of-touch to say 1,300 jobs leaving are not a big deal to Maryland. Maybe Governor Hogan sees these job losses as ‘not the end of the world,’ but thousands of Maryland families feel very differently.”
