Talking Digital With the DNC Chair Candidates: Jason Paul

On February 1st, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) will elect a new chair to replace outgoing party chair Jamie Harrison.

The next DNC chair will lead the Democratic Party at a critical time, as they work to rebuild while Republicans control every level of the federal government.

This person will oversee fundraising and operations, but they will also play a key role in shaping the strategy and outlining the vision for what the party should be and how it should allocate its time, energy, and resources.

I reached out to the DNC Chair candidates and invited them to join me on the pod to discuss the role they envision digital strategy playing in the future of the Democratic Party.

While not all are able to participate, I’m happy to share conversations with the candidates who accepted my invitation.

I checked in with Jason Paul.

Jason Paul is an attorney and political strategist from Newton, Massachusetts. He has worked winning campaigns across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine. He is also the author of Trench Warfare Politics in the Tinder Era, a book that explores the current political landscape and outlines pathways for progress. 

We talked about DCCC fundraising, what it would mean for the party to exert more control over ActBlue, why we need better research within our party and a whole lot more.
