I agree. My issue is less about who it is but more that we're being told to raise the money and we weren't even consulted when we asked.

Yes...unfortunately, I think that's true.
I'm on the phone with Simas now...he's stunned that you've already been called. They had absolutely no idea anyone was even being interviewed. The WH still hasn't been contacted about about this. He's calling her now.

Clearly, the WH either didn't care or didn't weigh in. Probably the former.

It boggles my mind that they didn't even consult the White House or us on who to even interview.
Charlie and I are both dumbfounded.

I just talked to her and she told me she had hired Leah after an "exhaustive" interviewing process.

I'm distressed that DWS hired a convention CEO without consulting us after Charlie and I both told them repeatedly that we expected to be consulted--and we were under the impression they would. They didn't consult the White House either.
Madame Secretary, I'm not going to call anyone or say anything until you have your conversation with DWS, but this concerns me a lot.
John--you, Charlie and I may need to sit down with Debbie to make clear how we want things to change/improve before we are willing to consider playing ball with them.
