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?
WATCH: DGA Chair Gov. Roy Cooper Highlights Importance of Electing Dem Govs on Meet the Press
On NBC News’ Meet the Press yesterday, DGA Chair North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper stressed the critical importance of electing Democratic governors this year, particularly as fundamental rights and freedoms are increasingly left up to the states.
“It is really important that we have Democratic governors across this country, particularly when you look at the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court,” said Gov. Cooper. “What we thought were constitutional rights and freedoms are now going to be tossed to state capitols and state legislatures and it matters who your governor is.”

Gov. Cooper added: “The goal here is to defend our democracy, to make sure that we defend rights and freedoms, that we get competent people as CEOs of our state. We know how important it is and I think it is critical that people look closely at their candidates for governor as we approach this midterm because those governors are going to be making big decisions that effect everyday people’s lives.”
