The DGA’s Women Governors Fund is a separate, no-overhead fund that supports our women governors and candidates. When the fund was first established in 2018, there were only two Democratic women governors. The DGA has invested over $80 million to support the current class of women Democratic governors, and today, we have a record number eight Democratic women leading their states.
This year, we have the opportunity to increase that number from eight to ten- with Rep. Abigail Spanberger vying to become the first woman governor of Virginia and Rep. Mikie Sherrill looking to keep New Jersey blue.
The DGA is committed to supporting our women candidates and growing this historic group.
