Hi Jim,

With 30+ caucus and primary contests in March, our analytics team is
all-hands-on-deck with core election modeling over the coming weeks. Our
team's research has also shown that policy and values messaging (rather
than ethnic appeals) has been most effective for engaging white Dem voters
through electronic media this cycle, but we've flagged the software as an
option for the team to consider once the primary pace slows down. Thank you
again for sharing!

Best,

Abby
