Description

The Democratic Lt. Governors Association (DLGA) is seeking a dedicated, driven leader to direct its fundraising efforts. DLGA is the only organization focused on electing Democratic Lt. Governors nationwide. We are the Democratic bench—supporting the most diverse group of statewide elected officials in the country, with more than 85 percent of Democratic Lt. Governors being women or people of color.

Over the last two years, the DLGA made history by flipping North Carolina’s Lt. Governor seat from red to blue for the first time since 2008 and winning Virginia’s Lt. Governor race by a generational margin. These victories brought the total number of Democratic Lt. Governors to an all-time high of 25. In 2026, DLGA will build on this momentum by expanding our bench of Democratic Lt. Governors and supporting our incumbent Democratic Lt. Governors as they run for higher office.
