Proud husband and father. Former Chair of the DNC.
I asked Jasmine Crockett about the moment she realized the system wasn't just broken, it was comfortable being broken. She answered with the case of a 17-year-old charged with a felony over candy: https://youtu.be/444A1a1Qxy8
I wrote this because I believe as the DNC considers the ‘28 primary calendar, there’s a larger conversation we need to have about Black voters, political power, & the future of the Democratic Party. My latest: Keeping Faith with the Voters Who Kept Faith with Us. open.substack.com/pub/jaimehar...
I miss my friend Mr. Lewis. No matter how dark the moment, he always found the light. Not because he ignored the darkness, but because he believed ordinary people, through courage and love, could overcome it. That’s a lesson worth holding onto right now.

On America’s 250th birthday, this message feels just as important today as when I first shared it. I love this country. That’s why I’ll never stop working to help America live up to its highest ideals. That work isn’t finished. Now it’s our turn. 🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America.

One of my favorite Election Day traditions is dropping off donuts and coffee to the folks who make our democracy work: our precinct workers. Just landed from DC, made a quick stop at Krispy Kreme, and now I’m headed to the polls. Every vote matters. Every voice matters.
