Former Obama labor secretary Tom Perez has been chosen to lead the Democratic Party. He was elected chair at a gathering of 400 party insiders in Atlanta on Saturday.
In a speech before the vote, Perez told the crowd, "We need a chair who can not only take the fight to Donald Trump and make sure we talk about our positive message. We also need a chair who can... change the culture of the Democratic Party and DNC."
Perez inherits a party in turmoil following an unsuccessful presidential election that was rocked by hacked emails and accusations of favoring Hillary Clinton over Senator Bernie Sanders in the party's primary.
