My name is Geoff Burgan – and I’m the Communications Director here at DAGA.
Making sure the people hear our message about the importance of electing pro-choice, pro-democracy Democratic AGs is a full time job, and today I want to give you some insight into the work I do every day.
I start my morning with reading – a lot of reading – national news and newspapers like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Arizona Republic, Michigan Live, and others from key battleground states. Each day, I talk to reporters from across the country about the stories that are affecting local communities. We cover everything from how campaigns are going, to how some of the big issues are playing out – issues like the economy, consumer protection, voting rights, and more.
Lately, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the consistent attacks by Republican AGs to undercut access to abortion and reproductive health care. With Roe v. Wade under a very real attack, we need to fight back, because abortion is essential health care.
I keep a close eye on how our AGs are fighting to keep our communities safe, on everything from prosecuting price gouging to taking on companies who pollute our natural resources and environment.
And every day, I take some time trying to understand the forces that shaped the dangerous attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6th – specifically how Republican AGs played a key role in that dark day, fueled the Big Lie, and tried to steal millions of Americans’ votes. We still don’t have the full story, and we need to hold these Republicans accountable for what they did to our country and our law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol.
As the day wraps up, it’s time to do one last email check before signing off and checking in on my extremely cute dogs Osita and Sol. Running communications at DAGA can be difficult work, but our AGs are so important to keeping us safe and holding the powerful accountable. I’m so proud of the hardworking team we have here that shows up everyday committed to keeping the People’s Lawyers in office.
