Dear John,

I just spoke with Joy Reid on MSNBC about the exciting future of the Democratic Party. As the new Vice Chair, I am focused on our goals of building to win, building to expand and building to last.

We must broaden our vision by supporting parties across all 57 states and territories. Democrats are poised to organize within their communities, and it's time to empower them. Establishing infrastructure in all 3,244 counties will enable local organizing and ensure we reach every ZIP code.

We also need to support Democrats at every government level, as success in significant public policies starts with contesting down-ballot races, including city councils and school boards.

Our reliance on outdated information channels can misdirect our efforts. Voters seek respect and authenticity, so we must adapt our content strategies to align with how they consume information today. This involves engaging in unconventional media spaces and reaching out to local advocates.

We face a challenge, as many Americans now perceive the Republican Party as more representative of working-class interests. We must reshape the Democratic vision to unite families across all backgrounds. This requires a focused narrative and branding effort to reach families nationwide.

Thank you for your support as we work toward this important mission.
