RGA stands for Republican Governors Association, a political abbreviation.
Organization of Republican governors that supports the election of Republican candidates for governor, raising money and spending heavily on advertising in competitive states. It is chaired by a sitting Republican governor.
Example: The RGA launched a seven-figure ad buy in the open-seat race.
Usage notes
Like the DGA, it operates as a 527 political organization. Governors' races draw heavy national spending because governors influence redistricting, election administration and state policy on issues such as Medicaid and taxes. Both associations hold annual meetings where future presidential hopefuls often appear.
