I’m a DNC vice chair, here’s how Democrats reconnect with voters

The blue wall broke. Every swing state went red. And the entire country, barring a few exceptions, shifted rightward. In Minnesota, where I’m serving my seventh term as the state leader of our Democratic Party, we managed to buck the trend and hold our ground yet again. 

But since the election, part of my mind has been focused on another state – Missouri. 

On Election Day, voters across Missouri passed ballot measures to guarantee paid sick leave for workers, protect reproductive rights and raise the state minimum wage.
