About the DGA
Founded in 1983, the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) is an independent voluntary political organization organized to support Democratic governors and candidates across the nation.
In 2010, the DGA will face the election of a generation. Thirty-seven governors’ races are on the ballot, with many of those governors overseeing the critical redistricting process that will draw the lines for Congress and legislative races for the next decade. Republicans have already said they plan to manipulate the process – and the DGA is the only organization standing in their way.
As the only organization dedicated to electing Democratic governors and candidates, the DGA participates at all levels of campaigns, from providing resources to fund operations to helping articulate and deliver their messages. The DGA also provides expert advice in policy areas to Democratic governors and candidates, with several policy conferences a year on topics such as biotechnology and life sciences and the new energy economy.
The DGA is proud to support the 26 Democratic governors who hold office now. We invite you to learn more about them, the upcoming races and how to be involved in the DGA.
