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.
