On Wednesday, Governor Martin O’Malley was selected to serve as the Chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.  O’Malley, who served as the Association’s Vice President for the past two years, stated:

“Democratic governors will lead the way back to our party’s resurgence. Democratic ideas are already leading the way to restore our economy, whether it’s expanding access to capital for small businesses, strengthening our workforce, and spurring job creation with strategic investments to support the private sector.”

“Democratic governors this year were honest about our shared challenges and the tough choices ahead of us; we fought back and we won. In 2011 and 2012, as both Democrats and governors, we will continue this record of being honest, making the tough choices, and winning.”
