        Media inquiry re: Democratic Platform
Your Message
        Hello,

I sent a message to Ms. Brazile's Georgetown email as well, but will send it here in case that doesn't get noticed.

I’m a political reporter at Slate trying to do a story about the importance of the Democratic platform. Namely: how seriously is it taken since it’s not really a binding document, what ability would the Sanders campaign have to change it, and what flexibility Clinton might show in granting platform concessions to Sanders? It seems like she would have the numbers on the platform committee to stave off his changes, but she also needs to keep his supporters in mind ahead of the general election.

If you have the time today I’d love to chat. I’m at (443) 223-6125. Thank you!
