Monday

The National Dem Committee crafts the National message, the local and state dem committees craft the local message and state message. Nothing says those messages can't overlap, but while the National message should be broadly appealing, the state and local can be more targeted to the local races under the umbrella of the national message.

(I hope this makes sense!)
