The Democratic National Committee met (for 13.5 hours) on Saturday and elected a progressive, action-oriented, diverse leadership team. Chair Tom Perez, Deputy Chair Keith Ellison, the newly elected officers, the strong candidates who ran but did not get elected, and DNC members are committed to building the Democratic Party, winning elections, and defeating Trumpism. The new..
In less than 24 hours, we should have a new DNC Chair – this is exciting, especially for DNC members who have felt underutilized (if not outright ignored) over the past 8 years. I support Tom Perez, but I would be happy to serve under Keith Ellison as well. Both are great speakers, good organizers,..

The incoming Trump administration offers a target rich opportunity for action and resistance. Every lousy appointment or ignorant tweet justifiably incites outrage, as will Trump administration policies whenever he comes up with some. It is tempting to remain in a constant state of outrage, but that’s probably not healthy. So how to identify the battles..
UPDATE: The DPVA approved a primary to choose our candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General in 2017. Note that candidates must collect 10,000 names on their petitions, which are due April 17, 2017.
