READ: Jim Messina’s Financial Times Op-Ed: “Until the Democrats are trusted on the economy, they won’t win again.”

Jim penned an op-ed in the Financial Times last weekend that’s making waves — and for good reason.

The bottom line is that until Democrats are trusted on the economy, we won’t win. Jim makes the case that economic credibility isn’t just one issue among many — it is the issue. And right now, voters simply don’t think Democrats share their economic values.

“We have a perfect opportunity to draw clear contrasts with the Republicans on economic priorities, especially as the Trump administration pushes its latest round of tax cuts that would disproportionately hurt the working class while adding billions to the national deficit. Democrats should focus on four economic values and put them at the heart of our campaigning.”

Jim lays out a sharp, clear-eyed roadmap that should be a wake-up call for Democratic leaders — but it’s also hopeful. There’s a way forward. But we’ve got to be bold enough to take it.

Give it a read, and let us know what you think.
