#TransparencyTuesday

This past tuesday we launched the #TransparencyTuesday initiative with an introductory blog post and video.

#TransparencyTuesday is a weekly blog series which will bring attention to the work of the County Committee and provide educational materials on topics such as the role of political parties and their governance.

Upcoming posts topics include:

• Political Money Terminology: PACs, SuperPACs, IEs, Coordination, Electioneering

• Political Field Terminology: Canvassing, Win-Number, VAN, Voter File, Lit

• Political Theory: The two party system and the rule which create it

• Political Practicality: The Party Structure and what the DNC, State and County parties do

• What District Leaders do

• What County Committee people do

• Primaries: Why be a Democrat?

• How Judges become judges

Reception

The #TransparencyPost did well on social media, especially Facebook.

• 1,659 impressions, up 16,000% over last week

The post was also the best performing since 2013 by 100%.

Video does particularly well

• The video wasn’t fancy. I hope it will encourage some of you to be willing to participate.

• If you have an idea for a blog post or video topic, let me know. If you would like to feature in a video, let me know.

Websites, CRMs and Email blast

I have been talking to team I lead as YDA VP which built a system for the Young Democrats of America. It’s likely to have a set-up fee around $400-500 and a fee equivalent to around $20/unit.
