The Communications Committee (commonly known by its adorable pet name, ComCom) of the Harvard College Democrats its responsible for the Dems' messaging, branding, marketing, and political communications strategies. We are the proverbial lipstick upon the pig, representing the work of the Dems to the outside world and providing a compelling narrative of young liberal politics not only at Harvard but across the country. In addition to traditional political communications techniques such as press releases, media handling, and publicity ComCom is responsible for the Dem Apples blog, the Dems' talking points, and alternative media strategies such as The Blue Line, the Dems' independent gazette, and the Filmworks. To get involved with ComCom, or to submit a request for press material, please contact Garrett Dash Nelson, Communications Director.
