New chair of DNC emphasizes change within party

By ANDREW HIYAMA

Daily Summer News Editor

Several of the most prominent 

figures within the Democratic Party 
convened Saturday morning at the 

Renaissance Center in Detroit for the 
Democratic National Committee’s 
seasonal 
executive 
committee 

meeting, 
where 
the 
committee 

discussed its transition and strategy 
for elections going forward.

As one of the first such meetings 

for newly-elected DNC Chair Tom 
Perez, much of the talk centered 
around the “culture change” he 
intends to effect within the party. 
After narrowly defeating Rep. Keith 
Ellison (D–Minn.) in the contest for 
chair in February, Perez received 

criticism for being part of the party 
establishment that had failed to listen 
and appeal to the more progressive 
wing of the party. During the meeting, 
Perez sought to show he understood 
the need for change within the party, 
emphasizing a turn toward a culture 
of inclusion.

The organization of the meeting 

room itself, Perez said — with four 
long tables arranged into a square, 
so all of the over 50 members of the 
executive committee were facing 
each other — was proof of that.

“One 
of 
the 
dimensions 
of 

this culture change has to be our 
interaction with our members,” 
he said. “We’ve heard loudly and 
clearly that you are under-utilized. 
We are changing that. And we want 
to change that together. I’ve asked a 
lot of people who have been to many 
executive 
committee 
meetings, 

‘What has often happened?’ And 
all too frequently, many of you have 
been able to walk out not having been 
called on to offer your opinions on 
anything.”

The second dimension of the 

culture change, Perez said, was 
rethinking the committee’s mission 
statement.

“We have to clarify, because it 

seems to me that the de facto mission 
statement of the DNC had been that 
we are here to help elect the President 
of the United States, the Democrat, 
every fourth year,” he said. “And it’s 
borne out in our structure. So we 
have absolutely changed our mission 
statement. Our mission statement is 
to elect Democrats up and down the 
ticket, from the school board to the 
senate.”

Ellison, who Perez named deputy 

chair moments after becoming chair 
himself, said the culture change 
needed to include the way the party 
interacts with voters as well as its 
own members.

“The way that we’re going to win 

elections is not only by persuading 
people but also by getting new people 
into the fold that we haven’t talked 
to,” he said. “90 million people didn’t 
vote in the last election that were 
eligible to do so.”

Many members of the committee 

reacted positively to Perez’s message, 
saying they had already experienced 
a change in the few months he had 
been Chair.

Earl Fowlkes, who has been a 

member of the DNC for eight years 
and the Chair of the DNC’s LGBT 
Caucus for four years, said it was 
the first opportunity he’d ever had 
to speak in an executive committee 

meeting.

“Basically, I see us having 3 

protocols,” he said. “And one of 
them is the right to advise the 
leadership, the other is the right to 
warn leadership, and the other right 
is to be consulted by leadership. And 
I think when those protocols are not 
adhered to, as they haven’t always 
been in my time here, the DNC is off-
kilter, because we represent the core 
constituencies of this party, and we 
have to be in the mainstream of the 
decision-making process so that we 
can strengthen our party.”

Other 
members, 
however, 

expressed they still didn’t feel 
included by the party.

Louis Elrod, President of the Young 

Democrats of America, pointed 
out that for the level of support for 
Democrats from young people, they 
weren’t very well represented in the 
committee. Asking how many of 
them were millennials, fewer than 
five people at the table raised their 
hands.

“Even being the Democratic 

Party, knowing that we have this 
generation leaning towards us, 
we still do not have the voice — 
in numbers at least — that we 
need,” he said. “We have existing 
infrastructures that no one invested 
in last year. No one. No one invested 
in our organizations to try to turn 
out young people, at all. And if that 
continues again, we are going to lose 
heavily in 2018.”

Before Elrod finished with his 

remarks, however, Perez cut him 
off, citing the need to give everyone 
the opportunity to speak in a short 
period of time.

“I’m sorry, but it’s the first time 

I’ve been given access to talk to you 
here,” Elrod said.
