The Communications/Press department is responsible for handling all aspects of media relations, event planning, marketing and promotion (including publications) for the DLC. The department works with major media outlets both nationally and regionally and in a variety of media, including television, radio and print press.

DLC's political team identifies and works with the next generation of New Democrat leaders to develop and promote a new politics based on opportunity, responsibility, and community. Our growing networks include federal, state, and local elected officials, policy makers and policy experts, and community and opinion leaders.

The Development department administers an active program of meetings and events for its donors, with scholars, administration officials, legislators and top policymakers. This programming offers development interns a chance to learn not only about the mechanics of fund-raising in Washington, but also to listen to policy discussions with the people who make it.
