Former labor secretary Tom Perez named DNC chair
Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez on Saturday was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee, defeating top-rival Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, in their respective bids to chart the direction of the national party.
Perez was elected after two rounds of balloting in Atlanta at the party?s annual winter meeting. He received 235 votes, crossing the threshold of 218 ballots.
?We are at a turning point for our party and for all Americans,? Perez said after his victory. ?By getting back to basics, we can turn the Democratic Party around, take the fight to (President) Donald Trump, and win elections from school board to the Senate.?
