@seangagen Fair redistricting shouldn't be a political issue - states like PA & VA proved that Dems have been getting the short end of the stick because of gerrymandering. Though I think it will take more time, the country will move to a fair model in the next 20 years. #pmgt6410

Press releases are an easy way for public agencies or political organizations to get news out to people quickly. In 2017, the WNYBOE declared the schools safe zones and submitted press releases to multiple media outlets. #PMGT6410

With the government shutdown coming to a temporary close, polls showed that swing voters played a factor in Trump's decision to cave. Washington Post showed that 48% of swing voters blamed the GOP for the shutdown. #TrumpShutdown #PMGT6410

@seangagen Sen Warren's plan will help her in the Democratic Primary as this is a policy that resonates with voters. While donors may be against her, Sen Sanders showed that their anger helps with votes. With health care being such an issue - focus on Medicare! #PMGT6410

@MattFormanGSPM @seangagen I'm skeptical of the pledges that only Democrats have to make - the party did it with Pelosi even when her fundraising ability helped the Dems win back the HOR. Meanwhile McConnell is the 3rd most senior member of the Senate.

In my hometown, 2019 will be a year for grassroots campaigning with the upcoming municipal election. #pmgt6410

@seangagen Since so many Democrats are expected to enter the race, Biden & Sanders would add value to the primary dynamics. The current field lacks those years of experience in government that Biden & Sanders have - they would be a true contrast to Trump! #pmgt6410

@seangagen I think Vice President Biden will be unexpected support from the Latino and Hispanic communities. Many traditionally Latino districts, especially in FL, went blue in 2018. A moderate establishment type, like Biden, will relate to this group easily.

Hey #PMGT6410 ! I'm looking forward to an awesome week as we look at the #ObamaMcCain election. As someone who is pumped about the potential of a #PresidentBiden in 2020, I believe that the VP selection process was one factor that made 2008 go the way that it did.

The #2009TownHall meetings on health care were a true disaster in terms of the rhetoric and scare tactics used by the GOP - Dems should have better outlined the positives of the ACA like they did in 2018. #PMGT6430

In today's political campaigns, thinking outside the box is key. In WNY we used Ragic as a low-cost budget planning tool to keep track of fundraising. It's affordable, user friendly, and even available as an app! Check it out! #PMGT6430

In the 2016 election, Bernie Sanders had an effective message to energize progressive base. His $27 donation message to get money out of politics inspired many on the left. Win or lose, Sanders changed the party & started the conversation. #PMGT6430

What #CitizensUnited accomplished changed campaign finance laws. Corporations became allowed to donate unlimited amounts of money through PACs & the 5-4 #SCOTUS decision overturned the lower court ruling that first said no to money in politics. #OverturnCitizensUnited #PMGT6430

While politics in our town gets nasty, when they go low - we win elections! At ballot positions 5-7-8, we defeated 1-2-3 in a clean sweep. #PMGT6430
