In the sixty-eight years since the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) (formerly known as the Democratic Policy Committee (DPC)) was established in January 1947, it has served as an advisory board to the Democratic Leadership and as a research, policy-formulating, and communications arm of Senate Democrats. While the DPCC’s role has evolved through the years, the thread that unifies its long history is the key role it has played in facilitating communication among Senate Democrats and enhancing their ability to formulate and advance their agenda.

Under President Obama’s leadership, the economy has added private sector jobs for 74 straight months. During this span, 14.6 million private sector jobs have been created. In the Senate, Democrats are fighting to continue this positive trend and help speed along the economic recovery.

Job creation and retention has been a central element of the debate in choosing the president in the 2016 election. President Barack Obama has not received clear recognition of the jobs growth rate during his administration. As President Donald Trump begins his presidency it is appropriate to look at where the jobs growth rate is at the start of his term of office. If the rate falls during his tenure than the bashing that has been tossed about to President Obama is not fair. Furthermore, if President Trump, who claims job creation is his specialty, can’t continue the rate set under President Obama then he truly does not deserve re-election should he decide to run for office in 2020.
