GOVERNOR GARLIN GILCHRIST II ELECTED CHAIR THREE NEW MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WASHINGTON — The Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association (DLGA) announced today that Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II will serve as the organization’s Chair in 2021. “This year has been particularly consequential for lieutenant governors, who have been called upon to take the reins of responsibility as we lead our states in unprecedented ways in light of a lack of national leadership,” Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II said. “With an incoming Biden/Harris Administration, we have an opportunity to expand the role and responsibility of lieutenant governors to serve as advocates and advisors on our nation’s most pressing issues. I look forward to leading the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association into a new era of leadership and possibility.” New York Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul completed her term after overseeing record breaking fundraising and spending as the organization’s Chair in 2020. “Lieutenant governors have a unique platform to advocate for communities and bring innovative solutions to their state capitols, and the pandemic has only amplified their role in fighting COVID-19 and building back better,” said outgoing DLGA Chair New York Lt.

I want to congratulate Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II on his election as the next Chair of the DLGA, and I look forward to continuing helping elect and re-elect more Democratic Lieutenant Governors next year."
