National Journal reports that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has adopted new hiring standards, banning the use of any political vendors who are working on campaigns opposing Democratic incumbents: “It is intended to help stymie attempts by insurgent progressive groups who plan to primary incumbents deemed insufficiently liberal on key issues, but also to shield members of the party’s ascendant liberal wing who represent safe Democratic territory and could face intraparty challenges of their own.”

In addition to protecting Democratic incumbents from intraparty challenges, the hiring standards have very interesting diversity requirements for any vendors who want to be hired by Democratic campaigns: “In most cases, the committee will contract only with businesses that meet at least one of five key diversity standards. Among them, it asks potential vendors to report if their firm is at least partially owned by someone who identifies as LGBT, a woman, a minority, a veteran, or a person with disabilities. Other prioritized attributes: if 50 percent of senior staff positions or 60 percent of total staff positions are filled with people in those categories.” The DCCC says that these requirements are so that campaign workers will reflect the diversity of Democratic voters.

One of the progressive groups that may be affected by these new rules is the Justice Democrats. Read our exclusive article, Do You Know about the Justice Democrats? You Should.

Lord have Your way with our country’s leaders. Guide us and direct us according to Your will.

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17) My prayer is that our government focus on solving problems that Americans face daily and they do so equitably. Lord, please guide our leaders and show them the difference between wisdom that produces solutions that endure and foolishness that caters to divisiveness for short-sighted political gain. Help us to keep praying for our leaders. Encourage us to be faithful as You are to each of us when we act like fools. Open their eyes to what fear of the Lord means and why it is the beginning of wisdom. I pray in the
compassionate name of Jesus, Who said,”How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing” (Luke 13:34). Amen.
