US Midterms 2026: Democrats sue Trump over his jail repostBackground
The Democratic Governors Association is an Independent, voluntary political organisation supporting Democratic governors and candidates for governor across the United States. Its campaign work includes providing resources to fund operations and helping candidates develop and communicate their messages. Its support also extends to Democratic governors in US territories and to the mayor of Washington, DC.
Its work continues beyond elections. The DGA provides a forum for governors and their staff to exchange policies and practical experience in running state governments. It describes itself as a clearinghouse where members can share successful approaches and learn from one another. This policy role sits alongside its campaign activity, linking support for candidates with support for Democratic governors already in office.
