"Hey, this is important!" - Gov. Laura Kelly
Laura, Kansas Governor and DGA Chair Laura Kelly personally reaching out to you today with an important update.
I know it’s been a tumultuous few months since Donald Trump retook office as president. He and his administration have brought chaos, confusion, and incompetence every day since his inauguration.
Luckily, Democratic governors are fighting back.
If you want to know more, read on. But if you’re already familiar with our leadership against the dangers of the extreme Trump administration, will you go ahead and add your name now to stand with the Democratic governors who are putting everything on the line to defend our country?
STAND WITH DEM GOVS
Democratic governors like myself refuse to sit idly by in the face of the extreme Trump administration’s attacks. We’re ready to use every tool at our disposal – including taking Trump to court – to stop them.
Just take a look at some of the actions Dem govs have taken so far:
Maine Gov. Janet Mills filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for overreaching his authority and illegally freezing funds that go to feeding children in Maine – and she won!
California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against Trump’s tariffs for disrupting supply chains, inflating costs, and inflicting billions of dollars in damages to his state’s economy.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is also suing over Trump’s tariffs – along with 11 other states – saying his “reckless tariffs have skyrocketed costs for consumers and unleashed economic chaos across the country."
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is leading a lawsuit, along with 22 other states, to prevent the Trump administration’s cuts to lifesaving medical and scientific research.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore filed a lawsuit to stop Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s mass firings of critical federal workers.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump and his administration to stop them from dismantling the Department of Education, cutting critical public school funding, and hurting Wisconsin kids.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear joined a multi-state lawsuit against the Trump administration over cuts to health departments around the country by billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro sued the administration for withholding $2.1 billion from state agencies – and got every dollar unfrozen.
And the Democratic Governors Association is even suing Donald Trump over his dangerous Executive Order aimed at undermining our election system.
Trump’s actions in his second term have been chaotic, reckless, and unconstitutional. It’s a complete betrayal to the American people. But I won’t let Trump or his extreme cronies continue with their attacks – and I know my fellow Democratic governors won’t either.
The truth is, if we’re going to stop Trump from singlehandedly destroying our country, we need to elect Democratic governors who will serve as the essential guardrails against extremism in the states, but they can’t deliver without support from grassroots Democrats like you.
So can we count on you to support our fight and be one of the 50,000 grassroots Democrats we need from across the country to stand with the Dem govs against Donald Trump and his extreme administration? Your support has never been more important than it is in this moment, Laura.
ADD MY NAME NOW
Warm wishes,
Laura Kelly
Governor of Kansas
Chair, Democratic Governors Association
After making history in her decisive second-term victory in a state Trump won by over 16 points in 2024, Gov. Kelly is building on her accomplishments and charting a bold agenda. Kelly brings together both parties to get things done. She has brought jobs, businesses, opportunities, and record economic success to Kansas. During Kelly's start as DGA Chair in 2024, she helped keep North Carolina blue and elect Josh Stein.
Now, she’s ready to elect more Democratic candidates for governor in 2025.
Will you answer her call and add your name to stand with Dem govs against Donald Trump??
