Perez, Ellison embark on unity tour

New Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez and Deputy Chair Keith Ellison are taking their buddy show on the road.

Starting later this month, the pair will embark on what they are calling a “Democratic Turnaround Tour” that hits a collection of states that the party lost in 2016 and where there are ongoing races. The first stops, beginning March 24, are in Detroit and Flint, Michigan — where Hillary Clinton was the first Democrat to lose since 1988.

That trip will be followed by visits to Texas — where Democrats are looking to make inroads — and to the states that will hold the two gubernatorial races in 2017, New Jersey and Virginia.

Perez and Ellison are set to announce the tour on Wednesday night, less than two weeks after the former Labor secretary won the chairmanship and named the Minnesota congressman his deputy in Atlanta.

3. I hope that the party leadership makes and keeps making strong efforts at the state and local levels

as well as that lack of focus on those areas helped put the Repugnants in charge in Congress.

7. I like both of them

Glad they're working together. They've had some good responses to Team Trump so far. Now, they need to start building the party at the state level.
