An Open Letter
To: Gov. Kotek
From: A verified voter in Portland, OR
November 16
In the wake of Republican Donald Trump’s reelection to the presidency, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is helping to lead a new initiative that aims to protect state-level democratic institutions against federal overreach, design and implement affirmative strategies to protect the rule of law and deliver for people in the states.
This group, Governors Safeguarding Democracy or GSD, will work to reinforce key state institutions to protect executive agencies, elections, state courts and other democratic bodies. They will develop playbooks to enable governors and their teams to anticipate and swiftly respond to emerging threats.
I urge you to join this coalition. We need to do all we can to safeguard democracy ahead of Donald Trump's return to the Presidency.
Thank you for your work on our behalf.
