The Blue Book
Welcome to The Blue Book! This is our last edition before Election Day on November 4th. The DGA is ready to elect two new Dem govs in Virginia and New Jersey next week, and we’re fired up for the 36 more races that are on the ballot next year!

We know you receive a lot of emails, but this one is different. The Blue Book is your guide to highlight Dem govs delivering for their states – and as we approach the first big elections of Donald Trump’s second term, it’s never been more important to stay informed about current events across the country.

Grassroots Democrats are an essential part of our team and our winning strategy. If you know how important this work is, will you rush 3 to the DGA right now before reading? With less than a week until Election Day, your support is needed in this moment.

That’s all for now – thank you for reading the Blue Book, team! The DGA is the only organization dedicated to electing Democratic governors and candidates. We help our candidates run strong campaigns, from providing resources to fund operations to amplifying their messages to helping governors lead once they’re elected.

But this work isn’t possible without donations from grassroots supporters like you. Will you consider making a gift of $3 – or anything you can spare – today? You don’t have to donate to continue receiving this newsletter, but we really appreciate it.
