4. For political races in some states, the worst thing that we can do is trot

people like Nancy Pelosi in to campaign with the candidate. I would rather see Perez build up strong local committees and let those people vet local candidates and keep the race local. Tip O'Neill said that all politics is local, he was and still is right long after his death. We need to focus on getting strong local candidates and let those people fight it out locally, with support from their local committees and state committees and donations from a local and national small donor network. Although I wish ActBlue would end the default repeat donation choice, the organization is a powerful force in getting adequate money to people like Quist.

Let republicans bring in big dark money, our candidates should counter that by going face to face with voters and answering all questions from voters and local media, that beats dark money any day when done right.
