Democratic female governors

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is set to host a panel featuring eight Democratic women governors at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 21. The panel, organized in partnership with the Democratic Governors Association (DGA), aims to highlight the accomplishments and leadership of these governors, including Arizona's Katie Hobbs, Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer, and New Mexico's Michelle Lujan Grisham. Louis-Dreyfus emphasized the importance of women's voices in governance, stating that they have 'shattered marble ceilings' and demonstrated excellent leadership. The DGA has invested over $80 million since 2018 into campaigns to elect female Democratic governors, reflecting a commitment to closing the investment gap at the state level. This event coincides with a resurgence of interest in Louis-Dreyfus's work on the political satire 'Veep', which has drawn parallels to current political events. The panel discussion will allow the governors to share their experiences and impact on policies such as reproductive rights and economic issues.
