Just stepped off the stage – now reaching out to you personally

Team, it’s Governor Abigail Spanberger. I just gave the Democratic response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, and now I’m reaching out to you personally – but if you’re already on board, will you chip in $3 now to elect Democratic governors who will continue to defend our democracy and stand up to the chaos coming out of Trump's White House? I chose to deliver my response in Colonial Williamsburg to remind us that as we mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of our Declaration of Independence, the work of perfecting our democracy has never been finished. We must be willing to defend it, strengthen it, and expand it – not just in moments of crisis, but every day. I’m proud to say that Democratic governors are putting in that work. We’ve stepped up to serve as the last line of defense for our democracy by investing in education, expanding voting rights, protecting reproductive freedom, standing up for American families – and even taking this administration to court when they threaten it. If you live in a state with a Democratic governor, you’ve lived the difference. And if you don’t, but you didn’t like what you heard from the president tonight, trust me: electing Democratic governors this year is the path forward. Democratic governors will put democracy and our country first – no matter who's in the White House. That's why, with the 36 governors’ races this November, I hope we have your support. I know how critical the DGA is in these races, because they were instrumental in my victory just last year. So please: donate whatever you can to the Democratic Governors Association now to elect Democratic governors who will fight for our fundamental rights and freedoms and stop Republican extremism.
