RGA Launches BLUE STATE MADNESS Bracket Challenge

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association announced today the launch of the Blue State Madness Bracket Challenge, an online competition where participants can learn about the destructive policies and failed leadership of Democrat governors and candidates, and choose through a series of head-to-head matchups the Democrat that is inspiring the most Blue State Madness in 2014.

This week, visitors to the Blue State Madness site will have the opportunity to make selections from a full field of Democrat governors and candidates. In the coming weeks, the field will narrow, and ultimately, one Democrat will be chosen as the champion of the worst Blue State failed policies.

“In blue states headed by Democrat governors, government overreach and damaging shortfalls in public policy are the norm, and the party’s candidates waiting in line only offer more of the same,” said RGA Communications Director Gail Gitcho. “Blue State Madness is designed to illustrate the deep divide between these struggling blue states and successful red states flourishing under Republican governors. Incorporating this online competition will serve as an additional avenue to inform voters of the destructive potential of a vote for a Democrat governor and the important choice that lies ahead this November.”

Blue State Madness, launched last month, is a website designed to serve as a clearing house for news, research and insight related to Democrat governors and candidates. The site is updated regularly with new content, and as the election year progresses, Blue State Madness will present to voters an increasingly complete picture of the downward spiral a vote for a Democrat governor can spark in the states.
