Our Pick for New DNC Chair - Our Revolution

Our Revolution

Alan,

Here's the truth: if we want to transform the Democratic Party to make it once again responsive to the needs of working people, we need Rep. Keith Ellison to serve as the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

This month's election results proved that the American people are fed up with the establishment. They want change and they want it now. Keith Ellison is ready to revamp the Democratic National Committee by getting big money out of politics, taking on Wall Street and the billionaire class, and realizing the full potential of the grassroots.

Keith is one of the most progressive members of Congress, and currently serves as co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Our Revolution is proud to support Keith as the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and we hope you will join us:


The Democratic Party has a decision to make: Will it commit to being the party that advances the needs of working people, or will it continue feeding into the pressures from special interest groups and the billionaire class?

Keith understands that by rejecting the policies of the political establishment and wealthy campaign contributors, we can start to get to work on issues like creating a $15 minimum wage, opposing fracking and the construction of oil pipelines, and passing debt-free college.

We need the Democratic Party to be led by a progressive who will ensure we have an organization and a message that stands up for working families, not Wall Street and big corporations. Keith Ellison has shown he is up for the task.


Keith was one of the only members of Congress who acknowledged very early on in the primary the potential for Trump to win the Republican nomination. With his insight and strong moral compass, he will play a crucial role in leading the fight against Trump, and knows what is at stake for so many who call this country home.

The Democratic National Committee will be key to ensuring Democrats come out strong during the midterms in 2018, and go on to win back the White House in 2020. We believe Keith is the right choice for revitalizing the party and determining which direction it will take in the years ahead.

Thank you for joining us in supporting Keith Ellison as the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
