About the Newsletter

Welcome to Nobody’s Listening – a newsletter by Jesse Lehrich about the Democratic Party, and the fight to lead it. I started this project because I believed 3 things to be true:

1) The 2028 primary is already well underway, and it’s shaping many of today’s biggest fights.

2) This isn’t a horse race; it’s a proxy fight over the very form, function, and future of the Democratic Party.

3) The inheritor of Trump’s institutional carnage will have a singular opportunity to remake our democracy.

So, I’m obsessively tracking all aspects of this high-stakes race, and doing my best to share valuable resources & insights you won’t find elsewhere.

Who the f*** is Jesse Lehrich?

Hi – I’m Jesse Lehrich. I've been working in & around Democratic politics for the better part of two decades as a communications strategist, speechwriter, policy advisor, and nonprofit leader. So I'm either one of those idiots who got us into this wilderness, or I fought the good fight, but nobody was listening.

I was a spokesman for Hillary Clinton in 2016, where I famously helped elect our first female president, and I co-founded Accountable Tech, an advocacy group dedicated to checking the power of our Silicon Valley overlords and repairing our information ecosystem. Boom, mission accomplished.

On the heels of those resounding triumphs, I’m sharing my wisdom with you. Thanks for reading, and feel free to share back: [email protected]
