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’s Losing Streak Continues
Today, DGA Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson released the following statement in response to Governor Scott Walker’s latest electoral defeat:
“If January’s special election was ‘a wake up call’ to Governor Scott Walker, today’s results were a blaring fire alarm for his struggling campaign. Scott Walker made this race a referendum on his governorship and he lost. This election is the clearest sign yet that Scott Walker is in trouble this November.
“Wisconsin voters have had enough of Governor Walker putting his political ambitions ahead of Wisconsin’s middle-class families. They’ve made that abundantly clear in the last 3 elections, and they’ll have the opportunity to send their message even more directly come November. Scott Walker’s loss tonight couldn’t have been clearer if his name were on the ballot: Walker put his resources, his credibility, and his brand on the line, and voters clearly rejected him.”
Tonight’s result marks the third straight election Democrats have won in Wisconsin. Walker and his partisan allies went all in for Screnock, but even millions in spending and a personal appeal from the Governor himself weren’t enough to overcome surging Democratic enthusiasm in Wisconsin.
