Earlier I wrote about how Tom Perez had recognized that the DNC had failed, and how he was owning up to that completely. There are news reports he’s doing a complete shake-up of the DNC based on what he heard from Democrats in states on his listening tour all over the country. That shake-up includes asking all DNC staffers to submit resignation letters, reviewing contracts with vendors and consultants.
Party staffs typically sees major turnover with a new boss, but the mass resignation letters will give Perez a chance to completely remake the DNC's headquarters from scratch after staffing had already reached unusual low following a round of layoffs in December.
….
The DNC will embark on a national search to fill key positions, overseen by the 30-odd members Transition Advisory Committee, which could take some time to fill.
The committee, whose members were told they are not eligible for DNC jobs, is also reviewing the DNC's contracts with vendors and consultants, a source of complaints from many Democrats.
Progressives criticized the committee's initial makeup, leading the DNC add several more members from their ranks.
Progressives are being given a larger place within the Democratic Party and that is due to people like Tom Perez and Keith Ellison who are fighting for a better future for our country and moving forward.
