National Dems are calling in a new communications expert: Eric Adams

But the city’s 110th mayor, who took office in January, is assuming a more influential role in the national Democratic Party as a leader whose motto is “get stuff done” while communicating those accomplishments to voters. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, just had Adams speak at the DCCC’s Chairman’s Issues Conference and Weekend in the city on Saturday.

“Mayors don’t have the luxury of talking about problems — they have to go fix them,” Maloney said in a statement to POLITICO. “Eric Adams is a guy who has taken action while a lot of politicians are still talking. He brings a valuable perspective to our party and shows how Democrats can tackle all the important challenges and issues without falling victim to the false choices.”

Last weekend’s DCCC conference was “very much about helping the Democrats get control of their messaging challenges,” according to one person who attended the event. That they would turn to Adams — a moderate Democrat and retired NYPD captain who was a registered Republican from 1995 through 2002 — to do that says as much about the party’s direction as any of the competitive primaries playing out this year.

Adams told the audience of 200, composed of DCCC supporters from across the country, that Democrats “must be better storytellers,” according to a copy of the remarks obtained by POLITICO. His role at the conference has not previously been reported.

1. If this is who the Democratic Party turns to for communication then it's in deep trouble

Eric Adams is quite literally one of the worst communicators and storytellers…

“We got him”…

I will leave it at that.

2. I take this to mean localizing races as a strategy for November

Which speaks to the Biden poll numbers. But politics is a game, and if we can tweak out a few wins on local projects and community/social benefits to voters, why not?

4. As said before dems problem isn't nationalized messaging its messaging in CoC like Stacy Abrams....

... did in Georgia.

Her work was ground level and grass roots and it didn't depend on centralized messaging.

There needs to be a SA program in every CoC, dems need volume in brute force voting not more base voters.

Motivated base voters are important but organized base voters right now should be the priority
