Thanks for another informative article. I look forward to hearing about your favorite candidate for TDP chair and why. Somehow I don’t think that the ability to raise a lot of money for the party, though important, should be the primary consideration, unless it is from small donors. Otherwise, we then dilute our objectives to meet the needs of the big donors.
The ability and record to motivate a grassroots movement to win elections should be more important. We all have like minded friends and relatives that we can nudge to vote for good Democratic candidates, who are committed to serve the common good. The Chair needs to convince all such people to get involved and then encourage those in their network to do the same.
The Reach app is a good tool to do so. However, it has been disappointing that every organization wants its own interface and database for their app when there’s need for more collaboration off one database of Texas voters based on VAN. Hope the Chair can facilitate it.
