Democratic National Committee Announced Mary Beth
Cahill
As Interim CEO on February 1st
"Most
recently, Cahill served as the National Political Director for the
United Auto Workers and the Director of the Washington, DC office.
Previously, Cahill served as the campaign manager of Senator John
Kerry’s campaign for President. Before joining the Kerry campaign,
Cahill was Chief of Staff to Senator Edward Kennedy and prior to that
she was Director of Public Liaison for President Bill Clinton.
After
working in the White House, Cahill went on to serve as Executive
Director of EMILY’s List, where she doubled the organization’s
membership.
“I’m thrilled to
announce that Mary Beth Cahill will join our team as interim CEO.
From her days in the U.S. Senate and the White House to her
leadership at EMILY’s List, Mary Beth is a seasoned Democratic
veteran who brings decades of experience and public service to
managing and electing Democrats up and down the ballot,” said
DNC Chair Tom Perez.
“Democrats nationwide will benefit from her
talents as we build on the energy and momentum from 2017 and work to
elect Democrats in 2018 and beyond.”
“I couldn’t be more
excited to join Team DNC as interim CEO. I know Jess has done a
fantastic job of guiding the Democratic Party through some of our
greatest challenges, and there’s no question that the DNC is
stronger for her leadership,” said Mary Beth Cahill.
“A
record number of women are running for office in 2018, and a major
reason why is the work of Jess O’Connell. As we search for someone
to step into Jess’s shoes more permanently, I’m honored for the
opportunity to work alongside Chairman Perez to make sure the DNC
continues to win from the school board to the oval office.”
“The DNC is tremendously
fortunate to have Mary Beth taking the reins as interim CEO. She’s
a well-respected strategist and operative who will ensure the DNC has
the staffing and resources to win in 2018 and beyond,” said
Jess O’Connell.
“I’ve known Mary Beth for years through
Democratic politics and our shared connection to EMILY’s List,
where we both spent time working to get more women elected to public
office. The Democratic Party couldn’t ask for a better partner in
our fight to build a brighter future for all Americans.” ... "

her work on Trump GOP has been credible, IMO... )

(Linked) "...is our 2016 platform...a declaration of how we plan to move America forward. Democrats believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls.
It’s a simple but powerful idea: We are stronger together."
