Getting Religion

Julia Piscitelli, a Washington, D.C.-based Democratic consultant, has put a new spin on the concept of Democrats reaching out to the religious community.

Last year, Piscitelli successfully shepherded Charlie Dooley (D) into the St. Louis County executive’s chair in Missouri, making him the first black candidate to win a countywide race there.

Piscitelli said she ran Dooley’s campaign along broad moral themes and hopes that other Democrats take notice and learn how to avoid wars over social issues.

“Our theme was protecting what we value most,” she said. "We talked about how St. Louis County is a safe, great place to live and raise a family, to get a good education and a job so that you can stay in the community.

“I see a lot of hope in what we accomplished in Missouri last year. The message of the races that I ran is there is a way to talk about what we all value as a society, American values, such as taking care of people, [expanding] health insurance, home ownership and education; these are important values that everyone shares.”
