Dear John,
NDN is pleased to invite you to our weekly briefing this Friday at 2pm, which will feature Simon Rosenberg and Rob Shapiro discussing the latest updates and analysis on COVID-19.
The weekly briefings take place on Zoom and last for 45 minutes each. If you would like to attend on Friday, please register at this link. Once you register, you will find a link to the briefing location on Zoom that will go live at 2pm on Friday.
Simon is NDN's President and is a frequent political strategist and commentator in the national media, appearing regularly in the New York Times, Washington Post, and MSNBC. In this past election cycle, he was a senior advisor to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, helping craft the strategy which netted Democrats 40 seats and earned the highest vote share by either party since 1986.
Rob is a long-time contributor to NDN and was the Undersecretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs in the Clinton Administration. He was a senior economic advisor to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Kerry in their presidential campaigns, and is currently the Chairman of Sonecon LLC, an economic and security policy consultancy.
As background, Simon keeps a live document with his latest thinking on COVID that you can find here. He also recently published pieces about how the 2020 battlefield favors Joe Biden and the Democrats (link here), the Administration's extraordinary failure to stand up our testing/isolation regime (link here), and how Congress must now work to develop a comprehensive national plan to combat coronavirus (link here). As well, Rob has recently published two new pieces in The Washington Monthly that make the case for universal mandatory testing and examine what a long-term economic recovery plan would look like in the face of several different scenarios of the coronavirus's severity.
Sincerely,
Chris
