I discussed it with her and she doesn’t really have anything negative to say. I think it will be fine.

As long as she doesn’t say anything negative while “revisiting the Obama 2012 campaign”

Should be about how we’ve come further, built on what we learned, etc.. but if she starts to bring up bad things from 12 she should decline to get into ti.

Hi Christina, of course.

So what I'm very broadly interested is the relatively new industry created at the intersection of politics and tech/digital — a fascinating space, especially when considering the future of politics. A lot people have written about this new field in recent years, but I've found that these narratives tend to focus on the work of men. Which makes sense —  both politics and tech tend to be male-dominated fields, if not in sheer numbers than by the narrative the media has built up around these fields. But as a reporter who focuses on gender issues, I'm interested in telling the story of this industry from the perspective of the women who've helped build it. And more specifically, I think a good way to frame that story — to give it a time and a place — is by revisiting the Obama 2012 campaign, given that it's one of the most heralded initiatives in this industry's short history. (Of course, being in the middle of an election cycle, I also think now's as good a time as any to revisit the last one.) So I've been gradually reaching out to every woman I can find who worked on the tech and digital teams of that campaign, looking to have candid conversations with them about their work, their experiences, etc.

Hope that all makes sense!

Hey Jessica, Christina here at the DNC.

Rebecca shared with me the email you sent her about talking with her about her work in 2012. Just because she is a current DNC employee, I just wanted to touch base with you about your story and what kind of information you are looking for.

Thanks!
