"Nick Rathod, executive director of the State Innovation Exchange, is slated to pitch them on a new round of investment in the progressive group that aims to rebuild the party from the ground up by focusing on state legislatures — a strategy adopted by Republicans a decade ago.
"Speaking before a panel featuring three prominent state attorneys general, Rathod — President Barack Obama’s former liaison to the states — will unveil a $10 million budget goal for the group, known as SiX, alongside the beginnings of a plan to expand the work of its 501(c)(4) side, allowing it to go beyond its policy work and dive further into elections and advocacy."
