Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison wins DFA vote for DNC Chair with 87% of the vote

e Keith, who understands that building a party that grows, nurtures, and strengthens the grassroots is the only way we can win races up-and-down the ballot and deliver devastating blows to income inequality, structural racism, and big money's stranglehold on our politics.

DFA members know how critically important strong, visionary DNC leadership is at moments like this -- it's a fight that's essentially baked into our organization's DNA. One of the first big battles DFA ever waged -- and won -- was electing Howard Dean as DNC Chair in 2005.

Keith Ellison has the deep relationships with the grassroots, the bold vision for a party that works hard for every single vote in all 50 states, and the long-standing commitment to populist progressive values Democrats need to win in the years ahead.

In the era of Donald Trump, when so many people face a direct threat from a hateful, greedy agenda, we have to start organizing right now to fight back. Keith Ellison will rebuild the Democratic Party into an effective, authentic voice of all the people -- a party that can win elections in all 50 states.

Thank you for helping rebuild the Democratic Party.
