Our talent pool isn’t limited, but often our vision of what makes talented staff is. If candidates want to run a different kind of campaign, they can’t limit themselves to only people who have done this exact job before.
NEW: 2028 Dems are quietly trying to hire primary staff in key states, fearful that they may miss out on a limited talent pool

Something I'm thinking about today re: stories like this-- Voters deserve to know who elected officials are at work and how they comport themselves in the job. And/but, it does seem women electeds get this treatment more frequently than male electeds, who are equally as prone to outbursts behind the scenes and are in greater number in elected office. These things don't negate each other, but they aren't separate either.

Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.)

I can’t help think of the fact that Katie Porter just went from frontrunner to nonstarter in the CA gov race for exactly this kind of behavior. The double standard for white men in leadership is appalling, and so are his actions. Ken Martin should resign.

“We are capitalist, not socialist
More than a dozen Congressional Democrats and other Dems running for office have signed a pledge to uphold centrist policies after the recent surge in progressive wins across the country.
They are massively missing what voters are telling us

When Trump won on a populist message, strategists urged Democrats to adopt the message and learn how to talk to working people. And they did. Democrats — and most notably Democratic Socialists — have run and won on popular progressive policies.

This endorsement is game changing news.
This is a powerful declaration that WE THE PEOPLE are ready to win, and we ain’t playing.
Kentuckians for the Commonwealth is an anchor in the movement for justice, democracy, and a healthy sustainable future. They have inspired and organized thousands of members across Kentucky, and it has been my honor to stand firmly with them.
The endorsement from KFTC’s New Power PAC means so much, because we have worked so hard for years for a moment such as this.
I am beyond fired up.
