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?
Winless Walker Strikes Out
Today, a third judge told Governor Scott Walker that he has to hold elections to fill vacant state legislative seats in Wisconsin. He had previously been refusing to hold elections out of a fear that Democrats would win.
“Scott Walker has been doing everything he can to avoid Wisconsin voters, even breaking the law,” said DGA Press Secretary Melissa Miller. “He’s right to be scared of Wisconsin voters, though, because they’ve had enough of Governor Walker’s political games that put partisan interests ahead of middle class families.”
Walker knows he’s in hot water with Wisconsin voters. He called a Democratic victory in a different State Senate special election “a wake-up call,” and even recently emailed his supporters “We could lose.”
