Voting Rights: They Would Not Be Taking Them, If They Were Not Important

In response to shifting demographics across the country, Republicans led state legislatures have been passing extreme voter suppression bills in places like Georgia and TX. Democrats are fighting back and today we are speaking with someone on the frontlines of the issue. 

Aneesa McMillan is one of America’s leading political communicators. She currently serves as Deputy Executive Director of Communications and Voting Rights at Priorities USA which is the largest Democratic Super PAC in the nation.

Over the course of her career, Aneesa has worked with the country's top progressive leaders to effectively develop and deliver their messaging, including Mayor DeBlasio in New York City, Representative Terri Sewell in Alabama and Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont. 

She also worked briefly with a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC before becoming Deputy Communications Director for then-Congressman Keith Ellison's bid for DNC Chair.
