Dear Executive Committee members,

Despite the hope of a New Year, our party faces many challenges. I am writing to ask for your presence

and your vote at the next meeting of the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee on January 8th

in Nashville. In our search for unity and a new party chair; however, let us not forget the unprecedented

economic hardships our neighbors are going through each day. The Democratic Party reflects the values of

Tennesseans concerned about longstanding job creation. Our immediate priority is to work together for ourneighbors struggling through these hard times.

When Republicans begin to govern, it is imperative that we communicate more effectively. Eight years of a

Republican presidency wreaked havoc on our economy and environment. People suffered. There is no

reason to believe that four or eight years of the same governance in Tennessee would be any different.

And on behalf of concerned Tennesseans of a younger generation, we will not be silent about a Republican

Party that governs without regard for individuals and their families.

MESSAGE

My plan to lead our party into a new era starts as we develop our message and build a robustcommunications infrastructure. In the process of getting that message to every corner of the state, we will

engage future candidates at every level of government; candidates concerned about improving their

communities. We will equip them to the best of our ability with media training, policy and research

briefings, and by maintaining close contact with them throughout the election cycle. As your chair, I will be

on your side in the messaging battle. We will present a unified voice to the people of Tennessee.

ORGANIZATION

Your state party will be managed efficiently, utilizing the strengths of our volunteer-led groups and

individuals. My first goal is to eliminate wasteful spending and to trim excess, beginning with the salary ofthe chair. I will propose that the roles of the chair and the executive director be combined for a

probationary period. I will propose new uses for updated technology and social networking tools.

Ironically, our current investments in technology have been more expensive to implement and manage

because of a lack of understanding about their functions. As a former director of a non-profit organization, I

know how to manage an organization and its resources. I have successfully raised capital and led a large

team of staff and volunteers. I propose we rethink our organizational structure at this critical time.

LEADERSHIP
