Democratic governors rake in record cash ahead of 2024
Source: Axios
The Democratic Governors Association raised $71.5 million last year a record for an off year that helped Democrats hold a seat in Kentucky and build momentum into 2024, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The overturning of Roe v. Wade and efforts to change voting laws since 2020 have put a spotlight on the importance of state leaders. Democrats have seized on the issues, and see an opportunity to get even with Republicans who have long dominated at the state-level.
"With Democratic governors serving as the last line of defense from extreme attacks on democracy and fundamental freedoms, electing more Democratic governors has never been more important," DGA executive director Meghan Meehan-Draper said in a statement.
Meehan-Draper added that the group is "on track to have our best January ever, breaking the last January record by more than 50 percent."

If we lose the governorship here, I will likely be fired the next day. Robinson has made it clear that he won't abide gay teachers.

Thanks for the post...
It's so important that we're on this! The realization of the corrupt power of the Abbott's and the DeSantis' had been horrifying.
We need to have change at EVERY level!

Also it's very important that Democratic Governors win their re-election bids.
