The Democratic National Committee and members of Congress are turning to Hollywood for help with voter turnout and messaging ahead of the midterm elections and 2020 presidential campaign, quietly consulting with a group of actors, writers and producers here.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez, several House members and other top elected officials have already met with the group, formed by members of the entertainment industry in the wake of the 2016 election, that participants liken to a TV writers’ room, complete with producers of such programs as “Veep.” The existence of the group and details of the meetings have not been previously reported.
The group has discussed targeted voter-registration programs with visiting Democrats, as well as the party’s framing of issues ranging from abortion rights to gun control. In one recent meeting, a Midwestern senator sought advice about how to discuss gun control with conservative-leaning voters in his or her state, multiple participants said.
Participants declined to identify the senator or other elected officials who have visited.
“We’re a messaging strike force, mostly around voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts,” said Mathew Littman, a former Joe Biden speechwriter who helped to organize the group with Stephanie Daily Smith, a political consultant based in Los Angeles.

Yes, that is the ticket. The democrats will surely win with this strategy. Folks like to hear from their privileged betters how much they should really hate the USA.

Maybe their slogan should be “We’re with Them” with the arrow pointing to a picture of Kathy Griffin holding Trump’s severed head, a group of black masked Antifa thugs, a group of tattooed MS13, etc. I’m sure that would be very effective.
The Hollywood Bullies were out in force.
It’s not the messaging that is the dem’s problem, it the product they are selling.
That is VERY clever. :-)

Hollywood insiders have not contributed much to society but degeneration.
I would say this is collusion, and also free political advertising.
What could go wrong?
I would bet 100 bucks the senator was Tammy Dyke Baldwin.
Hollywood??? Dems don’t realize that the respect for 99% of overpaid pompous actors and actresses has tanked.
Yeah definitely.
Hire DeNiro, Michele Wolfe, and Samantha Cee-word. They’re the great communicators of our time.
Sorry, I’m pretty sure a famous actor’s opinion counts a little bit more than yours. Obviously.

And they turn to Politico as usual.
Do us all a favor. Keep messaging like DeNiro!
