Meghan Meehan-Draper, DGA Executive Director

Hey there, it’s Meghan, Executive Director of the DGA, reaching out for the first time in a while – what a year this has been! But before I go on, I want to personally invite you to complete our 2026 strategy survey!

As we close out a historic year for Democratic governors nationwide, I want to start by saying: thank you.

I just checked our ‘25 records, and I’m amazed. Because of grassroots donors like you, the DGA has received more than 1.4 million individual contributions so far this year – with an average grassroots donation of just $19. And together, supporters like you have taken over 7 million actions to guide DGA strategy: signing petitions, completing surveys, stepping up when it mattered, and powering our movement forward. I’m so grateful!

Team, this commitment helped deliver two massive, game-changing victories. Last month, we elected two incredible Democratic women governors in Virginia and New Jersey who outperformed the polls and defeated their Republican opponents by huge margins. Their wins reaffirm what we’ve known all year: voters are rejecting Donald Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda – and Democratic momentum is real, powerful, and growing.

Team, I can’t overstate how important next year’s elections will be: every single race in 36 states across the country will shape whether we protect reproductive rights, expand access to health care, fight for affordability, and safeguard our freedoms.

Our grassroots supporters are the backbone of the work ahead, and that’s why your renewed commitment – and your insight – are so essential. None of our work is possible if we don’t know where you stand.

So please, before the year ends, take our 2026 Strategy Survey to help us strengthen our game plan for the fight ahead. Your input is vital because it helps determine the DGA’s strategy in the most consequential governors' races of the cycle.

BEGIN SURVEY

Thank you again for everything you’ve done this year. Your support, energy, and commitment are the reason Democrats are entering this next chapter with real momentum – and the reason we can win big again in 2026.

With deep gratitude and determination,

Meghan Meehan-Draper
DGA Executive Director
