Running for Chair of the Democratic Party in these times has been a duty and an honor. Thank you, Democrats. Congratulations to Ken Martin on your victory. All of us must work together to change our party so we can save our country.

Thank you, Wendy Davis, for your support in this race. Wendy is an organizer and champion for rural Georgia, and we are so glad to have her aboard Team O'Malley.

Thank you to DNC Member and IAFF President Ed Kelly of Massachusetts for your support in this campaign. Together, we will promote our labor unions, support our firefighters, and ensure our party partners with unions to rebuild our movement for working people at the DNC.

This is exactly why we need a new sense of urgency at the DNC right now. As a former mayor and governor. I know the impact this will have. We cannot sit on our hands while Trump snatches dinner off our families tables and strips our cities and states down to nothing.

It is so great to have Steve Grossman aboard Team O'Malley! Thank you for your support and for the trust you have in our movement to rebuild the DNC.

Thank you to Bill Shaheen and David Blount for your support of our campaign! The number of DNC members supporting our campaign is growing with each passing day. Let's get to work together to get our party back on track.

Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's take a moment to honor and celebrate the legacy of Dr. King and recognize that, while we have made significant progress in the fight toward equality and justice, we still have much work to do. #MLKDay

House Republicans tried to lie about my record while serving as the head of the Social Security Administration. Don't worry, I came with the receipts and set the record straight.

Note to Congresswoman Nancy Mace: The Democratic Party's platform is the economic security of every man, woman, and child in the United States of America.

I am so excited to announce the support of two Marylanders who I am proud to have worked with for many years, Congressman Jamie Raskin and Congressman Kweisi Mfume. Together, we are going to rebuild the Democratic Party and get back to winning again.

Thank you, Maria, for your support in this race to rebuild our party. Together, we will make sure the Democratic Party is in the best position to win in 2025, 2026 and beyond!

I’m honored to announce that Brian McGlinchey has endorsed our campaign for DNC Chair—onward, together!

We are going to hit the ground running on my first day as DNC Chair. From creating a Center of Digital Excellence to naming Secretary Marcia Fudge as our transition chair, we are not going to wait to rebuild our party.

As the next DNC Chair, ensuring that our candidates are equipped with the resources needed to win across the country will be my top priority. If we want to protect our democracy, then let’s elect leaders who will.

I am grateful to receive the endorsement and support of former DNC Chair, and former Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. Together as a Party we will make the changes we need to win. Thank you, Tim.

My heart breaks for those impacted by the devastating fires in Southern California. If you live in Los Angeles County, please heed the warnings of local authorities and stay out of harms way.

This afternoon, I joined Adam Mockler to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. Meeting voters where they are at means going on platforms like Adam's to share how we are going to rebuild our party once again. Tune in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQnF...

Here's why I'm different from the other candidates in this race: 1. I'm the best operational turnaround leader in our party. 2. I've chaired a national committee of elected officials. 3. I've been an elected official as a City Councilman, Mayor, and Governor.

Please join me in wishing a huge congratulations to Senator-elect Srinivasan and Delegate-elect Singh on their big wins! A special congrats to Chairwoman Swecker and the entire Virginia Democratic Party on this big win.

The Democratic Party doesn’t need a caretaker, it needs a change maker. And that’s what I have a history of doing. Together, I’ll unite our party for change - and then we'll fight like hell to win.

Four years ago, insurrectionists tried to tear down our Capitol Building. They did so at the behest of one man: Donald Trump. The threat to our democracy remains today, and I will never stop fighting to protect it.

Having served as President Biden’s Commissioner of Social Security, it was an honor to join him today as he signed the Social Security Fairness Act into law. This was the most significant expansion of Social Security benefits in 20 years.

We need to be ruthless in doing what needs to be done to win the next election. We need to punch back when Republicans harm Americans and undermine the principles of our Republic. I won't just be a caretaker DNC Chair. This moment is too important.

We need to protect voting rights not just in our swing states, but in every state. It’s why I am running for DNC Chair.

When I led the Democratic Governors Association, we won in deep red states across the country. When I am DNC Chair, we are going to make sure our party is competitive everywhere.

We need a change maker to shake things up in the Democratic Party. The party of old is not the party of the future. It’s why I am running. www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/...

My heart breaks for the victims of this morning's deadly terrorist attack in New Orleans, and I am sending my deepest condolences to their families. America is strongest united, I have every confidence we will find the people who committed this attack and hold them to justice.

On behalf of everyone on Team O'Malley, wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year!

As we enter the New Year, let’s put the failures of the Democratic Party in the past and work to usher in a brighter future, where all 57 states and territories have a seat at the table, and we start winning again.

Under my leadership, we are going to invest in every corner of America. From Maine to Alaska and everywhere in between, our 50 state strategy will leave no Democrat behind.

As our next DNC Chair, one of my top priorities will be to expand our legal fund to challenge voter suppression tactics, building on prior successes. We will protect the right to vote for millions.

President Carter was one of the finest men to have ever served us as President. Honesty, decency, compassion for all. My deepest condolences go out to the entire Carter family during this time. 🕊️ www.ajc.com/news/former-...

Donald Trump's talent is fear. He only has "concepts of plans." The Democratic Party can rise above the fear and division that he will sow over the next four years. Let's get back to the kitchen table issues and rebuild our party from the ground up.

I know what it takes to get the Democratic Party back on track. From building a Center for Digital Excellence to giving young people a seat at the table and recruiting good candidates across the ballot, we will reengage, reconnect, and rebuild our party so that it starts winning again.

Under my leadership at the DGA, we won races in deep red territory across the country – from West Virginia, and Kentucky to Missouri and Montana – with a focused message –“Opportunity. Jobs. Now.” I’m ready to continue this success as DNC Chair.

If you make me our next DNC Chair, you can bet on the fact that we are going to meet voters where they are at, whether online or on the ground. We will partner with unions, faith-based groups, and civic organizations to enhance voter education and turnout.

I’ve run for local, state, and federal office. I’ve served as a prosecutor, Mayor, Governor, and federal executive. I know the problems facing the Democratic Party, and as Chair, I am ready to tackle them on day one.

Our ideas are better. Our leaders are better. It’s time we make sure our messaging is better too. Let’s redefine the way the Democratic Party reaches everyday Americans.

Happy Kwanzaa to all who are celebrating today! Wishing you a festive holiday with your loved ones.

To all those celebrating this evening, wishing you and your families a very Happy Hanukkah!

Merry Christmas from all of us at #TeamOMalley! Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday filled with happiness and joy!

We need a Chair who can bring rural Democrats back into the party. As Chairman, I plan on introducing a 50 state plan that hits every corner of our nation. If a Democrat lives there, we will invest there.

There’s truly nothing like Christmas at the White House. Thank you to President Biden for hosting us. Wishing you all a great holiday season!

As the only American who served on the International Commission Against the Death Penalty, I commend President Biden's courageous decision to commute federal death sentences. The decision shows our allies around the world that America has not totally lost her way. apnews.com/article/bide...

The Social Security Fairness Act will help a lot of former teachers, firefighters, police across America retire with greater economic security. Congratulations to all who made it happen.

Elon Musk is a boy with a new toy. When I am DNC chair I will keep Elon Musk and his big money buddies out of our Democratic primaries and hold them accountable when they try to break bedrock programs like Social Security and Medicare.

When I chaired the Democratic Governors Association our message was simple: "Jobs. Opportunity. Now." This is the message we can and will bring back to the Democratic Party under my chairmanship.
