I always say my voters are not on social media, they're on social security. You have traditional media. Then you have social media, and that's about organizing people that are there. It's not about saying extreme crazy stuff, which I'll never end up doing that. It's about organizing people that think the way you do to get them to repost your stuff.
It's like any kind of field organizing of a campaign. You have to figure out how to get other people working with you on the message you're trying to sell. Then you have podcasts, and the thing that Trump did so effectively by reaching out to different groups, especially young men, which was his target, and spending time doing that. And we need to do a better job of that as Democrats.
Then you have ethnic media, and then you have the national media. So it takes a lot of work. First, you gotta figure out who's paying attention, in your district and beyond your district to sell the message. And then you have to do the hard work of spending time in each of these different silos. Because when I came up in politics, you know, you did a press release and the paper's covered.
It was maybe lucky to get on TV and that was good enough. Now you have to do a lot of work and spend a lot of time in each of these different silos.
I'm learning a lot from this and I love the longer format anyway.
Okay, well, I have to work on the border. That's my big thing.
Secure the border, fix the broken asylum system, DREAMers, TPS recipients, farm workers. I'm working with a conservative Republican from Texas named Morgan Luttrell, former Navy SEAL, young guy, has a lot of 30,000 DREAMers in his district from a border state. Seems like he wants to get this done. He's worried about getting out too far in front of Trump. And we're building a coalition of others
But I'm also the new co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus. My Democratic colleagues selected me as the Democratic co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus. Brian Fitzpatrick is the Republican co-chair. He and I work together. And like you asked a very important question. Who do you have a good relationship with? You have to constantly work at building relationships.
And I try to do that through the Problem Solvers. I go to the prayer breakfast meetings. I go to a bipartisan workout class. You know, wherever I can get a way to hang out with people, to understand where they're coming from, and so they can understand where I'm coming from, we can find common ground.
Thank you so much, Jess. Thank you.
