Democratic Leadership Race Heats Up with Calls for Unity and Strategy

Ken Martin, a frontrunner in the race for Democratic National Committee chair, is advocating for a significant rebranding effort to address the party's image issues. In a 10-point memo, Martin emphasizes a 50-state strategy, youth mobilization, and year-round organizing, while also calling for a more rigorous primary process and better financial scrutiny. He highlights the need to recenter the Democratic agenda to appeal to a broader demographic and suggests making state party roles full-time positions. The DNC election is set for February 1, 2024.
