Ms. Brazile has worked on every major presidential campaign since 1976 and in 2000 became the first African American woman to serve as the manager of a major party presidential campaign.
For CREFC Digital, Ms. Brazile will bring a refreshing perspective and practical sensibility of what’s going on in Washington, including this year’s election and what a Democratic White House, Senate and House would look like.
