Article snippet: The Democratic National Committee is launching a new campaign to get supporters to pledge to vote in the midterm elections, an effort to mitigate the party’s expected drop-off in turnout this fall. The Democratic committees have become infamous for their folksy and, at times, hyperbolic fundraising and get-out-the-vote emails, which tend to flood email inboxes prior to fundraising deadlines and often feature such subject lines as, “All hope is lost.” Compton, however, defended the party’s email communications with supporters and said they seem to be getting more engaged as the election draws near. “One thing our program tries to do is to stand out and be different and always be interesting,” he said. “Even when we are competing in a crowded marketplace, you notice the DNC’s messages, you are interested to hear what we have to say.” The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2017 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
