Whitmer unanimously elected vice chair of Democratic Governors Association for 2026 [View all]
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was elected unanimously as the vice chair of the Democratic Governors Association at the group’s annual meeting in Phoenix on Saturday.
Whitmer will succeed Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear in the role, as Beshear was elected as the chair of the association.
“In Michigan, we’ve shown that staying focused on the kitchen table issues — like costs, jobs, and roads — is a winning strategy,” Whitmer said in a press release from her Fight Like Hell PAC. “We flipped counties that voted for Trump like Macomb, Bay, and Eaton because we showed up and focused on what Michiganders needed to get ahead. As Vice Chair of the DGA, I look forward to taking what we’ve learned in Michigan to races across the country and helping candidates win tough races.”
The Democratic Governors Association is a political organization focused on electing Democrats in gubernatorial elections nationwide, as well as providing support for sitting Democratic governors.
