When you elect Democratic governors, you get leaders who will show up for you.

In five days, we can elect two more Democratic governors in Virginia and New Jersey!

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is right: Dem Govs get stuff done, and we’ll never stop talking about it! From free meals for kids in school, retirement tax relief, putting money back into folks’ pockets, and so much more.

Republicans control the White House and Congress. They can end this shutdown any time they want.

Instead, they’re relaxing on vacation while nearly 42 million people go hungry because of them. They don't deserve to be in politics. In 2026, we're coming for their seats.

While Susan Collins bows down to Trump, Maine Gov. Janet Mills is fighting back and winning. She's always fought for a better future for the people of Maine, and now, she'll take that fight to the U.S. Senate. That's why we're thrilled to endorse Gov. Mills for election to the U.S. Senate today.
