Democratic Party

In front of a packed crowd at Roxbury Community College, Rep. Ayanna Pressley joined constituents to present a vision for how she thinks the Democratic Party can push back against Republican control in both chambers of Congress and answer community questions in a tense political moment.

This week, the Democratic Party is holding its quadrennial convention in Chicago Illinois, the 11th time that the party has held its conference in the Windy City, where it is presenting its best storytellers and having them share with the American people their past achievements and, even more important, their vision for the future.

When Hakeem Jeffries stepped to the rostrum of the U.S. Congress to nominate Nancy Pelosi as speaker in 2019, he shook the chamber with a rousing speech capped off by a startling reference to rap lyrics from Naughty by Nature.
