The DNC keeps snubbing the left

Repeatedly, establishment Democrats have infantilized and derided the progressive wing of the party.

Four years ago, North Carolina governor Pat McCrory walked outside the governor’s mansion in Raleigh and handed a tray of chocolate chip cookies to reproductive rights protesters, saying, “These are for you, God bless you.” A day earlier, he had signed one of the most restrictive abortion bills in the country.

You wouldn’t give cookies to a dude.”

This is an exclusive in-depth interview that Journalist Walter Yeates conducted with Former Ohio State Senator, Senator Bernie Sanders surrogate, and current Our Revolution Board Member, Nina Turner.

Early Career in Public Service

“What you are seeking is seeking you” — a popular quote Turner mentioned spur-of-the-moment when asked what motivated her to run for office. “I never saw myself running for office, but as my life began to unfold and I had different exposure, I saw the power of public policy and what strong, committed people, especially strong personalities, could really do with the bully pulpit — to both push policy and make a difference in the lives of individuals.”

Turner served in the cabinet of Cleveland Mayor, Michael R. White, in 1999 and was the Director of Government Affairs for the Cleveland Municipal School District shortly thereafter. In 2001, Turner made an unsuccessful run for the Cleveland City Council, yet would later win her second bid for the city council in 2005.

Her time in office and her life experiences played a key role in molding her worldview and developing her political philosophy.
