Chuck Rocha declared he won’t be running for DNC chairman, preferring to rebuild the party rather than serve full-time in fundraising roles. His stance reflects a larger dissatisfaction with the DNC's emphasis on attracting big donors over grassroots organizing. This criticism has gained traction following recent electoral defeats by the Democrats, as they struggle to connect with working-class voters.
Larry Cohen, former leader of the Communications Workers of America, criticized the DNC's reliance on large donations, advocating instead for a transformation in the party's funding priorities. He argues, 'The number one reform is to get rid of the dirty money... not for TV, operatives or consultants, but for organizing.' This perspective underscores a call for grassroots engagement, essential for revitalizing the party.
