About the company
The Democratic Governors Association (DGA) funds and supports Democratic candidates for state governor races.

It also serves as a policy forum, hosting conferences where current governors and candidates share best practices on state issues. Since separating from the DNC in 2002, the DGA has focused on raising soft money and coordinating efforts to win key gubernatorial contests. Its goal is to elect Democratic governors across states and influence state-level policy through coordinated strategy and resources.
