Description
The string of Democratic losses in state and national elections has provoked an intense debate about how the Democratic Party can revive its connections with voters. Should Democrats focus on reconnecting with rural and white voters? Or, should they concentrate on energizing their base in urban areas? Or, is there some hybrid strategy that is feasible? Minnesota member of Congress and Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Keith Ellison joins in a lively conversation with Professor Larry Jacobs and Capitol Reporter Rachel Stassen-Berger.
Congressman Keith Ellison represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, the congressman helps oversee the nation’s financial services and housing industries, as well as Wall Street. He also serves on the House Democratic Steering & Policy Committee, which decides committee assignments for Democratic Members and sets the Democratic Caucus' policy agenda. He is also a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, founded the Congressional Consumer Justice Caucus, and belongs to more than a dozen other caucuses that focus on issues ranging from social inclusion to environmental protection.
