The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Samuel --
>From my very first day as Chair, we've been on a mission to rebuild
and reshape the Democratic Party from the grassroots up. We need
to organize in every state and every zip code if we're going to win --
not just at election time, but all year round.
Grassroots supporters like you power our party, and because you're
so critical to our success, I wanted to make sure you were one of the
first to know some big news.
Today, I'm excited to announce that Jess O'Connell will be the next
CEO of the Democratic Party. Samuel, join me in welcoming her to our team:

As I've traveled and met with Democrats like you across the country,
one of the things I've heard most is that our party needs to get back to
basics -- getting active in local communities and talking about our
values and vision for the future of our nation.
There's no one better than Jess O'Connell to help us do it.
Jess is coming to us from EMILY's List, where she's led that organization
to historic success and helped Democrats achieve some of our brightest
electoral victories over the past four years.
Jess has helped elect the most diverse Congress in history -- including
quadrupling the number of women of color in the Senate -- and has built
programs to elect hundreds of Democratic women to state and local offices
around the country.
I know that Jess can help us fulfill the vision that all of us have for the
Democratic Party because she's a grassroots organizer at her core. And I'm
confident that she can communicate our party's message of opportunity and
inclusion to voters in every corner of every state because she's lived it, both
through her lifelong work to advance progressive policies that help working
families and because she'll be stepping into her new role as the first openly
LGBT person to run the Democratic Party.
Samuel, we have some immensely important work ahead of us. We've all witnessed
the chaos and harm that Donald Trump and the GOP have inflicted on working
families.
It's on all of us to turn our party around and get back on track so we can win
elections this year, in 2018, and beyond. With Jess at the helm, I know we will.
Sign our card today to welcome Jess, and let her know we're ready to get to
work:

Thanks -- now let's get to it. We've got a lot to do, but I know there's a bright
future ahead for Democrats.
