WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Dean, a medical doctor, made a statement Thursday.
"The Democrats need organization and focus on the young," Dean, who turns 68 next week, wrote. "Need a fifty-state strategy and tech rehab and so I am in for chairman again."
Dean was the Democratic National Committee’s chairman from 2005 to 2009, following his loss to John Kerry in the race for the party’s 2004 presidential nomination.
As chairman, he is credited with devising the “50-state strategy,” whereby Democratic candidates were recruited for elections in every state, at all levels of government, rather than only in traditional strongholds.
currently works as a government-affairs consultant for the Atlanta, Georgia law firm McKenna, Long & Aldridge.
