Dear members of the Executive Committee,

I received a call from Chairman Forrester this morning stating his support from approximately
47 members of the Executive Committee. He asked for my neutrality in the race for Chair. I
have said before, and I will say again, I respect the current Chairman’s terms of service. I
consider him a friend and fellow Democrat. I have also said that he is unable to unite our party.
Respectfully, I believe that releasing a list such as this amplifies our disunity by attempting to
shut down any dialogue that dissenting members of our committee would wish to have about
the future of this organization.

I am in this race until January 8th.

Humbly, I ask that you will consider my candidacy for Chair of the Tennessee Democratic
Party. At last night’s debate I said that the Tennessee Democratic Party is founded on the
following principles: “When we see suffering, we alleviate it. When we see injustice, we correct
it.” I am in this race because those are my values as a Democrat, and I do not believe they
were communicated clearly in this most recent election. I believe you have a distinct voice
as an elected official in Tennessee, and I believe you are persuaded by the strength of your
convictions rather than the presumed strength of one individual.

I will not leave this race because of the political tactics of today; and regardless of what happens
after your decision is finally made, I will stand with you.

Sincerely,

Wade
