| Democratic Governors' Leftward Lurch |
| What Happened: |
| Some Democratic governors expressed concern to the New York Times that the 2020 presidential candidates are veering too far to the left. There’s just one problem...Many of those governors - and failed gubernatorial candidates from 2018 - have espoused the same kind of radical policies. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| The Democratic Party is racing to the left, and no amount of fake concern from certain governors will change that. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, for example, held a rally with Bernie Sanders right before Election Day. She’s also on camera saying she would abolish ICE. Many other governors support a massive government takeover of healthcare. The list goes on…And they’re all caught on video! |
| What Happens Next: |
| Democratic governors can’t escape the radical policies of the 2020 presidential primary field. Period. |

| Governors Chris Sununu and Phil Scott Make The Case For USMCA Ratification |
| What Happened: |
| New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and Vermont Gov. Phil Scott are urging Congress to ratify the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ASAP. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| As the governors explain, ratifying the USMCA will expand opportunity for working families all across the country. "Every day that passes before the agreement is ratified in Congress," they write, "is another day employers, workers and families are not benefiting from the new opportunities it makes possible and the higher standards it sets." |
| What Happens Next: |
| The majority of America’s governors support the USMCA - including every Republican governor. Here’s hoping Congress acts swiftly! |

| Gov. Lee Keeps School Safety Promise |
| What Happened: |
| Gov. Bill Lee is leading a $40 million-dollar initiative to make schools throughout Tennessee safer. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| As Gov. Lee said in his State of the State address earlier this year, "the safety of our children and teachers is paramount." But actions speak louder than words, and the governor is following through by putting his money where his mouth is! |
| What Happens Next: |
| The money will first go to the 500 Tennessee schools that have no school resources officers. Schools that receive funds, however, can also use it for things like securing entrances and exits, and training staff. |
