My grandpa used to say “if you aren’t man or woman enough to put your name on it & your reputation behind it , then it ain’t worth being said or done.” There is a lot of unnamed bullshit in politics, but no one can ever say that I don’t work my ass off for what I believe in.

I started working at 15 to pay for my own school clothes & help pay bills. Worked throughout college & worked FT on Capitol Hill while getting my degree at Georgetown Law. Worked my way up Capitol Hill as a top staffer, state party chair & now DNC chair.Working hard is in my dna.

I took a race for the senate where no one gave me a shot & turned it into one of the most exciting races last cycles. Started with 100 email addresses and $0, I out-raised & out debated a 20+ year incumbent Senator. Had him begging, crying & gave him the fight of his damn life!

Only in DC… can you break a fundraising record & have folks complain it isn’t enough. That’s what the DNC did in ‘21! The DNC work isn’t always easy & covid has created its own challenges. Our offices have been closed since 2020, but despite barriers we are making a difference.

How? Here are some of my/our ‘21 receipts:

* $150M raised in the 2021- off yr record

*$23M for state parties;
$20M for organizing staff; $25M voter protection & voter registration

* Summer Bus Tour- stops in NJ, PA, VA, NC, AZ, SC, GA

* Over 1,000+ fundraising calls

* 200+ 1:1 zooms w/ major donors; $ meetings in CA,NY, IL, DC

*250+ state party mtgs & events

* 100+ mtgs/events w/ Dem orgs; 21 chair chat town halls with various coalition caucuses & councils

* 160+ Interviews; 12 major press events like National Press Club

So let’s stop the petty BS and let’s save our Democracy!

To unnamed sources … if you expect me to go away or roll into a ball and whimper… you picked the wrong one. The focus is upending the party of fraud, fear and fascism. You have the mission, now get with the program!
