Dear Friend,

The Chair of the DNC going forward must be a representative of our higher values. Today on NewsNation I was asked about the release of the Israeli hostages; I was glad for the chance to weigh in on the importance of our dedication to the goal of justice for all.

Tomorrow's inauguration is a big day for our country — it's a national reset. We will have a new administration, and if I am elected chair of the DNC then we will also have a new Democratic Party.

We will garner the energy and the excitement to meet the Trump phenomenon and Republicans toe to toe. We will transform and renew the spirit of our party.

The country has thrown out the old playbook and it’s time for us to do that too.

I look forward to talking to all of you this week.

All my best,

P.S. Thank you for your continued support. Together we are making a difference!
