Change for the People
The Democratic Party has continued to lose voters election cycle after cycle. Our party suffered major losses in 2024 in nearly every demographic.
We are failing to connect and reach voters.
We simply show up before elections and ask for voter trust.
We are failing to build lasting relationships in the communities.
We are failing to convey our policy accomplishments.
We are not listening to voters and hearing their concerns.
