I'm a recovering lawyer, policy wonk, political strategist, and the Executive Director of Every State Blue. I'm dedicated to making sure Democrats fight everywhere. "Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned." ~Peter Marshall
Red-state Democrat working to help Democrats fight everywhere; ED of Every State Blue. Champion of grassroots action. Democracy defender. Gardener. Painter. I've been told I smile too much.

This is the home of the On Democracy with FPWellman community where we discuss the issues of today, lessons from the past, and Fred Wellman's unique experiences as a soldier, veteran, and political strategist.
