Talking Digital With The DNC Chair Candidates: Nate Snyder | Hello Merge Tag Ep. 22

On February 1st, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) will elect a new chair to replace outgoing party chair Jamie Harrison.

The next DNC chair will lead the Democratic Party at a critical time, as they work to rebuild while Republicans control every level of the federal government.

This person will oversee fundraising and operations, but they will also play a key role in shaping the strategy and outlining the vision for what the party should be and how it should allocate its time, energy, and resources.

I reached out to the DNC Chair candidates and invited them to join me on the pod to discuss the role they envision digital strategy playing in the future of the Democratic Party.

While not all are able to participate, I’m happy to share conversations with the candidates who accepted my invitation.

My first conversation was with Nate Snyder.

Nate Snyder is a union organizer, grassroots professional, counter-terrorism expert, professor, voter protection advisor, and crisis manager who served as Chief of Staff for the Office of Partnership & Engagement at the Department of Homeland Security under the Biden/Harris Administration.

We talked about dis- and misinformation, extremism, the TikTok ban, the modern-day robber barons and a whole lot more.
