PETE BIELLO: Welcome to All Things Considered.
EMMETT SOLDATI: Thank you. Happy to be here.
BIELLO: In a minute, how would you summarize why you're the best person to lead the New Hampshire Democratic Party?
SOLDATI: Yeah, I think that our party has really grown a lot over the last several years, decades. And we recognize that there are so many voices within our party that I really think have common shared goals, whether the sort of specific goals of electing Democratic majorities in our state House or state Senate - to the top of the ticket, to advancing very real policy objectives that improve the lives and the lived experience of folks, no matter where they live in New Hampshire. And it means at this moment, in order to build on a wide range of voices and folks that have been active in our party for generations, like my parents to folks who had just found their way to the party more recently, we need a strategy that doesn't just speak to one facet or aspect of the party, but actually builds unity and connections. And I see those connections as needing to happen at the local level.
