Inside – Outside Game
Many PDA members know that our strategy to move the Democratic Party towards progressive positions, policies and programs, which the majority of Americans clearly embrace, entails both an inside and outside game. The inside strategy refers to supporting candidates running for office (federal, state and local) who represent our progressive platform. We’re working tirelessly (just ask Mike Fox!) to get progressive candidates elected and grow the progressive caucus at every level everywhere in the country.
The outside strategy refers to pushing, prodding and cajoling (some might call it “educating”) our elected members of Congress, State Legislature, City Council and School Districts to vote consistent with progressive positions. Oftentimes the outside strategy requires mobilizing Americans to engage in the political process, call and write Congress, and talk with their neighbors.
Here’s our chance! The Democratic Party of New Mexico is holding elections this Spring for DPNM state party positions, and each County is doing the same for local party positions.
