WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Democrats Slam Republicans' State of the State Addresses as Trump's Billionaire-First Agenda Hurts Working Families
Last week, Democrats slammed Republican governors across the country as they delivered their State of the State addresses and tried to paper over Trump and Republicans' terrible record, which is raising costs, killing jobs, and making health care more unaffordable and inaccessible.
By nearly every measure, Americans are worse off because ofRepublicans' failed leadership. Working families deserve strong Democratic leaders in their corner who are fighting to lower their costs. That's why Democrats are all gas and no brakes as we organize up and down the ballot to ensure families have leaders who are fighting for them and not Donald Trump and his billionaire donors.
Take a look at some of the Democratic responses to last week's State of the State addresses:
On the airwaves:
On KETV, DNC Vice Chair and ASDC President Jane Kleeb: "Head of Nebraska Democratic Party Jane Kleeb says the governor's address wasn't realistic. 'I don't know what generational investments he's talking about, but I live in rural Nebraska, and I am seeing the pain and the hurt that has happened.'"
On KETV, DNC Vice Chair and ASDC President Jane Kleeb: "This evening, we're also hearing from the Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb who says the governor needs to put his money where his mouth is. 'You know, I think Pillen throws out these kind of talking points about welfare, about DEI, and really this is about trying to pit Nebraskans against Nebraskans, when the reality is we need to bring more revenue into our state in order to deal with a deficit. When he talks about running Nebraska like a business, I wish he would actually put a business mindset on, because he's certainly not. He's running it like he's the Chair of the Republican Party, and he's waging a bunch of culture wars.'"
Missouri Democrats: "Mike wants to dig his hands deeper into most people's pockets, but provide them fewer services in return, he's already provided a preview of the hard times to come by proposing $600 million in core cuts in his proposed fiscal year 2027 state budget and underfunding K-12 public schools by at least $190 million and if Tax Hike Mike gets his way, the financial crisis will get progressively worse. House Democrats believe tax hike Mike scheme is a blueprint for disaster, and we will do everything possible to rally Missourians into defeating it and protecting their own pocketbooks."
Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas: "What [Youngkin] didn't say is that families are barely surviving. He said Virginia is the best state for business. What he didn't say is that our ranking dropped last year to number four, while Virginia federal workers got shoved out of their jobs. He said parents first. What he didn't say is that test scores failed while he was busy fighting cultural wars. He said he worked across the aisle. What he didn't say is that he vetoed progress and bipartisan bills. Youngkins wants to leave behind a legacy, but listen up, Glenn, the only thing you're leaving behind is a mess, and now Democrats will have to clean up your mess."
Virginia State Delegate Dan Helmer: "As we speak, Democrats in the General Assembly are working hard to deliver legislation to build an affordable, secure and resilient Virginia. What does that mean? That means bills like House Bill 4, introduced by Delegate Elizabeth Bennett Parker, which makes it easier for families to buy their first home. Means House Bill 483, from Delegate Carrie Delaney, that lowers the cost of prescription drugs. Means bills like House Bill 3 from Delegate Destiny LeVere Bolling to lower the cost of your utility bills. Means House Bill 1 from Delegate Jeion Ward to finally raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. It means bills that will keep our communities safe, defend our fundamental rights and save lives, like banning weapons of war from our streets, protecting our fundamental rights, from reproductive freedom to voting rights, to fair elections, to marriage equality, and thanks to you, we'll get it passed because we now have a governor who is actually focused on keeping Virginians safe."
Georgia House Minority Leader Carolyn Hugley: "Governor Kemp and Republican legislators will tell you they've done enough, that Georgia is strong, that Georgia is the number one place to do business, but I ask you this: if Georgia is so strong, why are you struggling? If the economy is booming, why can't you afford rent? If their policies are working, why does everything cost more? The truth is simple: their policies work for some Georgians, just not most Georgians. ... House Democrats stand ready to lead on affordability, to make the investments Republicans refuse to make to protect the services they're trying to cut."
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried: "The governor's words show how widely out of touch he is with the experiences of working Floridians. .... If the governor wanted to truly make housing more affordable, you know what he would do? He would stand up to the insurance companies and fight for our communities instead. Well, he's given up his unwillingness to stand. And up to political donors and the insurance industry means our local communities could be left to do more with less, all while we pay higher costs. ... Florida Democrats are more united than ever as we fight back, organize and propose legislation focused on common sense solutions to make life more affordable for everyday people."
In print:
Florida Politics: 'We have set the standard': In final State of the State, Gov. DeSantis says his tenure delivered for Floridians
[Gabrielle Russon, 1/13/26]
"Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin attacked DeSantis' record, saying 'The state of Florida has never had worse leadership.'
"'Working Floridians are struggling as costs continue to rise, health care becomes more expensive and less attainable, and education and opportunity in the state become even further out of reach,' Martin said in a statement."
Florida Politics: In his last State-of-the-State address, DeSantis vows: 'We will get the job done.'
[Mitch Perry, 1/13/26]
"'I don't think he addressed the true issues that affect Floridians,' Senate Democratic Leader Lori Berman told reporters, specifically referring to affordability. 'We're going to be addressing the issues that he really didn't lay out anything for the Legislature that will help Floridians.'
"'I didn't hear too many new ideas,' added House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell. 'It sounded like he was dredging up some of his greatest hits.'
"State Rep. Michele Rayner, D-Tampa Bay, said DeSantis seemed 'clearly more concerned with his political legacy than the lives of everyday Floridians.'
"'While Gov. DeSantis celebrates a 'Free State' and talks about the 1700s and 'societies of men,' here in reality in 2026, people in my district feel less free than ever as they struggle with crushing food and housing costs on top of a persistent property insurance crisis,' she said in a written statement.
"'Instead of truly addressing urgent issues like these, DeSantis chose to primarily focus on culture wars, political theater, and downright lies to cover up the reality of how he's hurt our state and the people living here. Floridians deserve a leader who views service as more than a platform for personal ambition -- someone who puts them first.'"
Nebraska Examiner: Gov. Jim Pillen calls Nebraska 'recession-proof' in State of the State
[Juan Salinas II, 1/15/26]
"Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb said in a statement that 'Jim Pillen will try to gaslight Nebraskans and paper over his failures.'"
WTVC: Trump once targeted Kemp. Now the Georgia governor is trying to steer what comes next
[WTVC Staff, 1/15/26]
"Democrats argue Kemp's policies favor the wealthy. They criticize his refusal to expand Medicaid and say his support for abortion restrictions and other social conservative causes undercuts his moderate image.
"'I think that Brian Kemp as governor has not been honestly all that different than 22 years of Republican rule that has made the American dream less attainable for most Georgians,' said Charlie Bailey, chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia."

Begich shatters Alaska US House fundraising record with nearly $1 million Q4
The Alaska Story
Congressman Nick Begich announced that his re-election campaign raised nearly $1 million from more than 29,000 individual donations in the fourth quarter of 2025, setting a new Alaska record for a Republican US House candidate in an off-year reporting period.
The strong fourth-quarter performance capped off a record-breaking fundraising year for the freshman congressman. Begich's campaign reported more than $3.2 million raised in 2025, surpassing the previous off-year record set by Democrat Mary Peltola, who raised $3.195 million in 2023. Begich also reported a record $2.28 million cash on hand at the end of 2025, exceeding Peltola's $1.77 million during her comparable off-year cycle.
[...]
With more than $2.28 million already in the bank and a record-setting donor base, Begich enters the 2026 election year with one of the strongest financial positions ever held by an Alaska U.S. House incumbent.

REMINDER: As Fellow DC Insiders Push "Watered-Down" Stock-Trading Bill, Michael Whatley Stands With Billionaires & Special Interests
In their newest attempt to skirt responsibility, Washington Republicans advanced a "watered-down" stock-trading bill, full of "loopholes" that allow members of Congress to "keep their existing stock and continue to sell." It also lets members of Congress then "reinvest dividends in new stocks, and let spouses and other family members trade freelyon behalf of a lawmaker."
In December, Governor Roy Cooper announced his support for a real ban on trading individual stocks by members of Congress and top Executive Branch officials. Governor Cooper does not own or trade individual stocks and did not during his eight years as Governor of North Carolina.
Meanwhile, DC insider and Big Oil lobbyist Michael Whatley has refused to answer questions on Gov. Cooper's support for a stock-trading ban, which is no surprise given Whatley's record of delivering for billionaires and special interests.
"As Washington Republicans try to skirt responsibility with a bill that still allows members of Congress to keep and sell their stocks, North Carolina deserves a Senator like Roy Cooper who isn't afraid to stand against corruption and self-dealing," said Mallory Payne, NCDP senior communications advisor. "DC insider Michael Whatley has spent his career fighting for special interests and billionaires, and that's who he would put first if he's elected to the U.S. Senate."

Over the weekend, the Michigan Democratic Party ran a mobile billboard at the Detroit Auto Show slamming multi-millionaire Florida resident Mike Rogers for his claim that there's no longer a "Big Three" in Michigan anymore, discountingStellantis and 48,000 U.S. auto workers. In response, Rogers' campaign doubled down, telling WLNS that there's only "two major automotive companies" in Michigan.
Read more about how multi-millionaire Florida resident Mike Rogers is disrespecting Michigan's Big Three and U.S. auto workers:
WLNS: Michigan Dems criticize Mike Rogers over 'Big Two' auto industry remarks
* The Michigan Democratic Party is criticizing Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers for comments he made about the auto industry in October. A mobile billboard is on its way to the Detroit Auto Show for Saturday to highlight his remarks, the party confirmed to 6 News.
* During an interview on the Scott Jennings Show, Rogers began to reference the "Big Three" automakers--Ford, General Motors and Stellantis--but quickly corrected himself to say, "now the Big Two, used to be the Big Three."
* "Big Three" is a longstanding term for the Detroit-based automakers General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. Chrysler became Stellantis when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles merged with France's PSA Group in 2021. Even though Stellantis is a multinational company with offices in Amsterdam, its North American operations--including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram--are headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, with significant U.S. market share and 48,000 UAW-represented employees.
* "We have two major automotive companies headquartered in Michigan: Ford and General Motors," [Rogers campaign] Spokeswoman Alyssa Brouillet said in an email statement.
* The Michigan Democratic Party thinks Rogers' "dismissive" comments about Stellantis will "haunt" him in the 2026 election.
* "Multimillionaire Florida resident Mike Rogers declaring there's no 'Big Three' in Michigan, writing off Stellantis and their 48,000 U.S. employees, is a slap in the face to Michigan automakers," Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel said in a statement.
Detroit News: Thousands peruse latest models during the Detroit Auto Show's opening weekend
* The Michigan Democratic Party launched a mobile billboard that ran around the Huntington Place convention center, calling out Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers for comments he made that there wasn't a "Big Three" in Michigan anymore, which the party said discounted Stellantis and 48,000 U.S. auto workers.
Michigan's Big Show:
* Host, Michael Patrick Shiels: They're really hammering on Mike Rogers, the man running for the United States Senate. [...] He made a comment, it seemed to be offhand, about [...] the Big Three, but then he said, you know, the 'Big Two' now, 'used to be the Big Three,' it's the 'Big Two.'
* Host, Michael Patrick Shiels: So Michigan Democrats are launching a mobile billboard at the Detroit Auto Show, slamming him for saying there isn't a Big Three in Michigan anymore. They say that he's discounting Stellantis and the 48,000 US auto workers who work for what was once the Chrysler Corporation.
WWJ Newsradio:
* Host: Politics making its way to the Auto Show. The Michigan Democratic Party launching a mobile billboard at the Auto Show, aimed at U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
* Democrats are unhappy about Rogers' comments around Detroit's Big Three, saying that Stellanitis is not part of the trio anymore. The Party says the comments are a "slap in the face to Michigan automakers."

According to a new study from the Joint Economic Committee released today, Virginia families are spending $1,269 more on average on everyday expenses, such as housing, transportation, food, clothing, health care andutilities.
Kiggans, Wittman, and Congressional Republicans swept into Washington last year with a promise to deliver on their campaign promise to lower costs for Americans - but have done the exact opposite.
* Kiggans and Wittman have repeatedly voted to protect Trump's cost-spiking tariffs that are making everything from groceries to housing more expensive.
* Kiggans and Wittman voted to pass Republicans' so-called Big Beautiful Bill, which is ripping health care and food assistance away from hardworking Americans to fund massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
* Kiggans, Wittman, and Republicans let ACA tax credits lapse, causing premiums in Virginia to skyrocket.
The DCCC will hold Kiggans and Wittman accountable for jacking up costs for Virginians.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
"Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman campaigned on a promise to lower costs, but the receipts show they're only making things more expensive. Their cost-spiking record will be a major reason why they lose in November."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 -- The Democratic National Committee posted the following news release on Jan. 20, 2026:

One Year In, Donald Trump's Presidency Puts Trump First and Americans Last
Working Families Are Getting Crushed By Trump's Failing Economy
*
Today marks one year since Donald Trump's second term began, and his first year back in office has been nothing short of a disaster for working families, farmers, and small businesses. His presidency can be defined by one slogan: Trump first, Americans last.
Trump has used the presidency to enrich himself and his family, line the pocketsof his wealthy donors, and enrich big corporations by intervening in other countries' affairs, while destroying the job market, driving up costs for food, rent, utilities, and health care, and failing to lower inflation. Instead of delivering on his promise to lower prices on "Day One," Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the economy while repeatedly calling affordability a "hoax," "fake," and declaring that "inflation is defeated."
Democrats are committed to lowering costs for working families and delivering for the American people. House Democrats successfully passed two discharge petitions on issues that are top of mind for Americans: one to release the entirety of the Epstein Files -- amid Trump's months-long stonewalling -- and one to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits after Trump and Republicans allowed them to expire at the end of last year. Democratic attorneys general filed over 70 lawsuits against the Trump administration and have restored billions of dollars in federal funding for health care, education, and other vital services for their states. Across the country, Democrats won elections up and down the ballot -- from gubernatorial races to city councils -- and have overperformed in nearly 90% of elections throughout the past year.
In response, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
"In just one year, Donald Trump has tanked the economy, sent prices soaring, decimated the job market, and left families everywhere struggling to make ends meet. His 'signature achievement,' the Big Ugly Bill, took an axe to health care and stole food from tables, all to give massive tax handouts to his ultrawealthy donors. In Trump's first year, the billionaires got a lot richer -- those guys are better off than ever -- but are you? Trump has spent his time in office building a $400 million gilded ballroom, hosting lavish dinners at Mar-a-Lago, falling asleep during meetings, and spending taxpayer dollars bombing other countries.
"Today, millions of Americans are deciding whether to pay for food or rent, whether they'll be able to put off that car repair for another month after their health insurance costs doubled, or whether their aging parents will ever be able to retire. But Trump calls their fears a hoax. Republicans should be prepared to face the consequences in the midterms because our Democratic candidates are listening and ready to step up, and what we're hearing is that voters are fed up, pissed off, and sick of Trump's BS."
After just one year, nearly 70% of working families are living paycheck to paycheck, as the cost of living continues to surge. According to a new report, families paid $310 more overall for groceries during Trump's first year, despite Trump claiming just last week that "grocery prices are starting to go rapidly down." Under Trump's watch, the job market has also taken a nosedive, as U.S. employers announced more than 1.2 MILLION job cuts in 2025, and manufacturers have lost 63,000 jobs.
Everyday Americans are bracing for the worst impacts of Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which made the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history, while providing permanent tax breaks to the ultrawealthy. To rub salt in the wound, Trump and congressional Republicans refused to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits at the end of last year, hiking premium costs for more than 20 million Americans by an average of 114%.
It's no wonder a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance, and nearly 70% disapprove of his handling of the economy. Americans are also twice as likely to say that Trump has been focused on the wrong priorities, and 6-in-10 adults say that Trump has done more to hurt the cost of living in his first year than help.

Nick Begich promised to lower costs in Congress
After a full year of Republican rule in Washington, prices are rising across the board due to their reckless policies backed by Nick Begich.
A new study from the Joint Economic Committee released today shows the average family in Alaska is spending $2,345 on average more on everyday expenses, such as housing, transportation, food, clothing, health careand utilities.
Begich and his party bosses promised to lower costs for Americans on day one - but have done the exact opposite. As a result of dysfunction and chaos in the halls of Congress, nothing is getting done to lower costs - and things are just getting more expensive.
To make matters worse, Begich voted for the Big, Ugly Law, which is ripping health care and food assistance away from hardworking Americans, making health care and groceries more expensive in order to fund massive tax breaks to the wealthy and well-connected. This year, Begich let ACA tax credits lapse, causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket.
The DCCC will hold Begich accountable for his inaction on making life more affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser :
"Nick Begich promised to lower the high cost of living, but rising receipts and monthly bills don't lie, his agenda is epically failing."
