Hillary Clintons Campaign Turns Over Email List To DNC [View all]
Source: Huffington Post
The Democratic National Committee announced on Sunday that Hillary Clintons campaign had turned over its email list, giving the party a major boost as it rebuilds under a new chair and prepares for the midterm elections next year and the 2020 presidential race.
The list, provided as an in-kind contribution from the Hillary for America campaign organization, includes more than 10 million new names that the DNC did not have on its voter files, according to both Clinton and DNC aides. The contribution was valued as $3.5 million, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.
This information will help candidates up and down the ballot engage with voters and win seats from the school board to the Senate, said Xochitl Hinojosa, communications director for the DNC. Were seeing momentum and energy across the country, and this investment will help us harness the energy and turn it into votes.
The decision to turn over the email list ― in addition to providing the DNC with its analytics and voter modeling tools ― fulfills a campaign promise that Clinton made. During the primary, the former secretary of state pledged that if she were nominated, she would focus her resources on rebuilding a Democratic Party infrastructure that had decayed under President Barack Obama.

Bernie Sanders has not promised to turn over his email list, saying that many of his supporters were independents -- as if that means they shouldn't be reached out to by Democrats. But these names could be critical in the 2018 elections.
