Hi Kevin,

We're not going to get into specifics but the President's voice will be particularly powerful in light of the progress we've made over the last seven years. He's an effective messenger to remind voters of how far we've come, of where we were when George W. Bush left office losing 800,000 jobs a month, with too many Americans losing their homes and savings. You can quote me on that.

Best regards,
-Luis.

Hey Luis -- hope you're well. Wanted to touch base again to see what more you can say on President Obama's role going forward in the presidential race -- even though the nomination process is still ongoing, are there places/areas you guys see him playing a major role? How eager are Democrats to get him out on the trail?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin, on background, I'll check on that number, but for context there were at least 16 fundraising events with the President just between Labor Day and early December. That said we're not going to get into specifics on the plans for this year, beyond telling you that the President's voice will be particularly powerful in light of the progress we've made over the last seven years. He's an effective messenger to remind voters that when George W. Bush left office we were losing 800,000 jobs a month, foreclosure signs littered streets all across America, and too many people had to choose bankruptcy to get the health care they needed.  We can't afford to let a Republican drag America backward.

Hey Luis -- hope you're doing well.

Working on a story about President Obama's role in the election -- wondering whether he's committed to a particular number of fundraisers for you guys this cycle (I know in 2014 there was a specific number -- 6 I think).

Are there any races/areas of the country/voting blocs you see him playing a big role once he begins campaigning? Until there's a presidential nominee he's pretty much constrained to fundraising for the committees, no?

Many thanks

Kevin
