This is a pivotal moment. The result of this election will determine the future of the Democratic Party. What are your thoughts on how this election will turn out? Do you think the Democratic establishment will cede control over to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party or do you think Perez will win securing most establishment votes?
"The 2017 Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairmanship election will be held during the weekend of February 23–26, 2017, to determine the next chairperson of the DNC.
Following the 2016 DNC email leak, in which DNC leadership appeared to favor Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential primary, Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned as DNC Chairwoman, and was succeeded on an interim basis by Donna Brazile. Brazile announced that she would not run for a full term. A DNC executive committee meeting will take place in December to provide further procedural clarity into the race, though the election is tentatively scheduled to be held at the DNC's Winter Meeting in late February 2017. There are 447 DNC members, who are the sole voting members of the DNC, a quarter of the members are state level chairs and vice chairs, the remainder are elected at the state level. To be elected as chair, a simple majority of 224 votes is required."
