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 Vice Chair Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on NPR: “Who Your Governor Is Matters More Than Ever”

This morning, DGA Vice Chair and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer appeared on NPR from the floor of the Detroit Auto Show to discuss the importance of electing Democratic governors who can get things done for their states.

Gov. Whitmer also outlined how, as vice chair of the DGA, she’ll be advising candidates and campaigns on how to win competitive states by staying focused on the kitchen-table issues that matter most to voters.

Watch highlights of Gov. Whitmer on NPR below:

“When Democratic governors lead, we make their lives better… I’m the Vice Chair of the Democratic Governors Association, we’ve got 36 races this year and 24 incumbent governors [who] represent […] 60 percent of the nation. Who your governor is matters more than ever right now.” 

“I won Michigan twice, handily. I am proud and grateful for this opportunity… It’s because I stayed focused on the fundamentals –  the dinner table issues: helping people find an affordable place to live, a good-paying job, a school that prepares their kids, and roads that don’t tear up their vehicles. This is how people keep money in their pockets. This is how Michiganders can get ahead. I don’t think Michigan is unique in that. Every person in this country wants and expects government to make their lives better. That’s been our formula here in Michigan and I think that that can be replicated everywhere successfully.”
