“We have to tap into the rich, rich, rich diversity of elected officials we have throughout this country who are actually delivering on our party values right now,” Martin said. “The DNC chair is just one spokesperson, but we have so many other spokespeople out there we should be tapping into. Instead of sending celebrities out, we should send workers out to talk to workers, we should send out other folks out to talk who are trusted messengers and validators.”
“My job is to get out there and define the Republicans,” Martin said. “I will take the low road so they can take the high road. I will throw the punches so they don’t have to, and we will go on offense against Donald Trump. That’s the role I will play as spokesperson, and I will also be the organizer-in-chief for our party.”
Yes. From what I have seen about Martin’s speech after being elected as DNC Chair, he knows how to frame the GOP.
When he’s talking about Trump and his billionaires, he’s already defining what is obvious about the GOP agenda is. He’s not afraid to do this and can certainly help the DNC from not just a fundraising aspect but from an organizing one as well.
I'm already liking what Martin is saying coming into being DNC Chair:

That’s exactly what I want to hear from him!
It's good, but why don't other Democrats need to punch Trump?
