Jeanne Shaheen in New York City on Wednesday, an event being hosted by longtime Clinton friends Ron and Beth Dozoretz, according to an invitation sent to donors. The invitation, obtained by POLITICO, shows the event taking place late in the afternoon at the Dozoretz home. A Clinton spokesman did not respond to an email. A Shaheen spokesman declined to comment. Shaheen (D-N.H.) is battling former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown for reelection. Ron and Beth Dozoretz are old friends of the Clintons, as is Shaheen. Clinton has canceled a number of appearances this week, following the birth of her granddaughter last Friday. She has primarily kept appearances that are in New York, where her daughter, Chelsea, lives. *The Hill blog: Ballot Box: “Clinton to speak at medical device conference” <http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/219343-hillary-clinton-to-speak-at-medical-device-conference-same-day-as-ill>* By Peter Sullivan September 30, 2014, 3:08 p.m. EDT Hillary Clinton will speak at a medical technology industry conference in Chicago the same day that she campaigns for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D). The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Clinton will campaign for Quinn on Oct. 8. That is the same day that she has a previously scheduled appearance at the AdvaMed 2014 conference. The medical decive tax under ObamaCare has been controversial, and Republicans have made repealing it a central part of their platform for next year. The former secretary of State is often compensated for appearances at conferences such as these and has faced criticism for her speaking fees. Details of Clinton's campaign appearance for Quinn have not been made public. Quinn is also slated to speak at the medical technology conference. Clinton will hold a moderated Q&A with the president of Advanced Medical Technology Association, Stephen Ubl, after her speech, according to a media advisory released Tuesday. "More than 2,500 attendees will network, conduct business, gain access to capital and share insights in Chicago, Ill.,fromOctober 6-8" the advisory says of the conference. "The conference also features world-class plenary speakers, networking and business development opportunities." Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is also slated to speak at the conference. On the campaign side, Quinn is locked in a tight battle with Republican businessman Bruce Rauner in his reelection race this year. *Bloomberg: “No Hard Feelings as Bill Clinton Subs for Wife at Event” <http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-01/no-hard-feelings-as-bill-clinton-subs-for-wife-at-event.html>* By Jonathan Allen October 1, 2014, 12:00 a.m. EDT Maeve Sanford-Kelly, 10, lost out to Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky, four-days-old. Sanford-Kelly had been planning for nearly two weeks to see Hillary Clinton last night at a fundraiser for Anthony Brown, Maryland’s Democratic lieutenant governor who is seeking the state’s top job in November’s election. But Clinton, whose granddaughter was born Sept. 26, canceled and sent her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in her place. “My 10-year-old daughter, who got a $1,000 ticket, is crushed,” Sanford-Kelly’s mom, Ariana Kelly, a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, said earlier yesterday of the former secretary of state’s absence. “But for what it’s worth, I’m glad she’s with the baby instead of with us. It says something good about her soul.” Hillary Clinton, who is considering a 2016 Democratic bid for the presidency, has nixed several fundraisers for her party’s candidates since her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, gave birth Sept. 26. Political operatives in both parties say that, like Kelly, most donors understand when a politician cancels an appearance at the last minute for exceptional personal or family reasons. And sometimes, the reserve called off the bench to stand in is good enough to satisfy even skeptics in a crowd. “Just like middle school, it depends on who the substitute is,” Matt Canter, deputy executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said, referring to the star power of the former president who stood in at the Brown fundraiser. *‘Frustrates People’* Rob Jesmer, former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said that some big names in politics develop a bad reputation for last-minute cancellations for less-than-pressing matters. “That frustrates people,” he said. In this case, though, “Hillary Clinton can get away with it.” The former first lady has been one of this year’s most sought-after surrogates for Democratic candidates across the nation, Canter said. “For the vast majority of our campaigns, there’s a tremendous demand for her to be involved in various aspects of the campaign,” he said. At last night’s fundraiser, held at the Potomac, Maryland, home of David Trone, co-owner of Total Wine & More retail company, Bill Clinton echoed recent remarks by President Barack Obama about the U.S. economy, saying it has been growing stronger, according to a person who attended and requested anonymity to discuss a private event. *Foster Children* In praising Brown for his work with foster children, Clinton said that his wife, a former U.S. senator from New York, had worked with former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Texas Republican, on issues affecting such children when they were both in Congress, the person said. Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, who picked Brown as his running mate eight years ago and is considering his own bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, also attended the fundraiser. Hillary Clinton appeared at a pair of fundraisers for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Sept. 29 in New York, where her daughter lives. She is scheduled to headline an event for Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, a Democrat up for re-election, today in New York. *NPR: “Transcript: Sen. Warren's Full NPR Interview On Financial Regulation” <http://www.npr.org/2014/10/01/352779367/transcript-sen-warrens-full-npr-interview-on-financial-regulation>* [Transcript] October 1, 2014, 5:03 a.m. EDT *STEVE INSKEEP: You described what you learned from this report as disturbing. What's disturbing about it?* ELIZABETH WARREN: Well ultimately, this report tells us exactly what we already knew — that the relationship between regulators and the financial institutions they oversee is too cozy to provide the kind of tough oversight that's really needed. *How is it too cozy? Because of course, we hear the regulators on these tapes saying: "There's a reason that we're trying to have good relationships with banks like Goldman Sachs — we want to know what's going on, we want to get information."* Oh golly. So look — listen, though, to those tapes. For me, there were two things that jumped out. The first was just a basic lack of truthful reporting: Supervisors are actually telling examiners not to report accurately the damning things they heard from bank executives during meetings. I mean, wow. If there's not even an accurate record of what's going on, then the regulators can't hope to do their jobs. And the second thing: Look at how the Fed emphasized talk instead of action. You know, the regulators seemed to think that it was a victory just to raise an issue, even if they took absolutely no action to address the issue. And that's the kind of approach that allowed banks to take on massive risks before the financial crisis. You know, think about that: The regulators seemed to think that fussing at banks behind closed doors was their toughest sanction. Does anyone believe that Goldman Sachs is gonna give up a deal that would yield millions of dollars because someone fussed at them behind closed doors? *The regulators described this particular deal — that was reported on in great detail on the tapes — as a transaction that was legal, but shady. Uh, it did seem to be within in the rules. Does that call for a proper — does that suggest a problem with regulators or the rules?* You know, for me it starts as a problem with the regulators — and let me describe it this way: You know, the cultural problem isn't just some secondary concern. It's the whole ball game. We can keep making the rules tougher and tougher, but it won't make an ounce of difference if the regulators won't enforce the rules that are there. If the regulators back down or back off whenever the banks tell them to? Then it's the banks — and not the regulators — who are running the show- *Now you mention-* -and I think — yeah, go ahead. *Now you mentioned a cultural problem, Sen. Warren. Of course way back in 2009, five years ago now, there was a report commissioned by the Fed that identified this cultural problem: a reluctance to speak up and a suggestion of a too-close relationship with the banks.* *But what can you really do about that, given that you need to have regulators who, perhaps, have experience in the financial industry, and are going to get to know the financial industry and the people in it really well?* Well you know, the first thing we can do is expose it. I mean, that's where this really starts — that's the first step. And that's why it is I want to see oversight hearings — I want to get a complete picture of what's happened here... But we need to move on this and move quickly, because the big banks are just getting bigger, and they're taking on new kinds of risks. We need regulators who understand that they work for the American people, not for the big banks. *Carmen Segarra, the woman who made these tapes — and who was fired from the Fed — sued, and her lawsuit was thrown out. One way to describe the reason it was thrown is simply that the whistleblower statutes did not apply to her — she had not exposed a violation of regulations, she had exposed something short of that that was troubling to her.* *Do you think the whistleblower statutes should be expanded in some way?* Yeah, I think that's one of things that ought to be on the table. I mean, look — we need to look at whether or not we've got the right tools to protect the kind of people who will speak up. But, but what we've got to start with is we've got to expose what happened here, we've got to look at what the available tools are, but we've got to give the message loud and clear to the Fed: Um, this isn't gonna work — you work for the American people, you don't for the big banks. *I should mention that these allegations have been around for a while — Carmen Segarra's story has been known for a while — what is new here is the tapes. Was there something, just from the tone — from listening to the tapes — that you learned that you did not know before?* You know, there is something about listening to those tapes, and hearing someone say "no, no!" you know, "back up!" almost — almost a whiny tone about the, the fact that she feels pretty strongly that Goldman is not in compliance with the requirements of the law. And I'm... That's the part, when you hear the tape, there's no more "he said, she said," one person describes it this way and another says no. It's that you really do, for a moment, get to be the fly on the wall that watches all of it, and there it is to be exposed to everyone: the cozy relationship, the fact that the Fed is more concerned about its relationship with a too-big-to-fail bank than it is with protecting the American public. *I suppose if a Goldman official was sitting here, they might point out Goldman was complying with the law — at least according to some of the regulators — and the problem was whether they were doing something that was around the edges of the law, so to speak.* Yeah, but this is partly the role of a regulator. A regulator doesn't say to a big financial institution: "Hey! Step right up here. Get your toes on the line, and so long as you can make a legal argument that you have not crossed the line then, hey, we're — we're all cool here." That's not the way regulation of large financial institutions is supposed to work — they're supposed to be using judgment. And remember, part of this judgment is about whether or not there has been compliance with the law. The fact that Goldman could mount a legal defense here is not really the point of these tapes. The point of these tapes is that the regulators are backing off long before anyone's in court making a legal argument about whether or not they came right up to the line or they crossed over the line. *Do you think regulators in a situation like that could say, "listen, this may be legal, but I don't like it — don't do it"?* You know, I think what regulators can do, is they can remind these large financial institutions that there's a lot of room in there for the large financial institutions to get themselves into trouble and to get the entire economy into trouble. I mean look, that's what happened in 2008 — the regulators stood by as the big financial institutions kept loading up on more and more and more risk. The regulators had the tools to say to the big financial institutions, "hey guys, you gotta back off — you're putting the whole system at risk when you do this." And yet the regulators didn't do that. They were willfully blind to what went on. And what we're seeing here is that same kind of cozy relationship, as the big financial institutions continue to run their operations, taking on more risk, doing what they want to do and brushing their regulators aside. *Sen. Warren, this is, uh, something that you're clearly passionate about, but it's a complicated issue — bank regulation. What would have to happen for it to be a major campaign issue this fall or in 2016?* You know, I think it already is a campaign issue. The way I see this, for everybody who's running right now in 2014, there's a fundamental question of whose side you stand on. You know, the game out there is rigged, and people across this country really get it. And the Goldman Sachs tapes just show it one more time. Little banks have to follow the rules, regular families have to follow the rules, but big financial institutions? Somehow they can manage just to push their regulators aside and go forward. There's a — there's a fundamental question about who this country works for. It can't just work for those who already have lots of money and lots of power. We've got to have a country that works for everybody else. *Should Hillary Clinton address this issue forcefully?* You know, I'd like to see everybody address this issue forcefully. I think it is a very important question, and I'm — I wanna see everybody in on it. Both parties — I think we all should be there. *Do you think that — do you think that your party is going to be able to make an issue of this in the general election coming up in a couple of years?* You know, I'm gonna keep talking about it, and I think there are a lot of people in the Democratic Party who will do the same. *Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, thanks very much.* Thank you. *The Hill blog: In The Know: “ElectHillary.com? RandPaul.com? Betting on 2016's hottest Web address” <http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/219397-electhillarycom-randpaulcom-betting-on-2016s-hottest-web-address>* By Judy Kurtz October 1, 2014, 6:00 a.m. EDT Election-year website squatters have dollar signs in their eyes, scooping up 2016-related domain names with the aim of cashing in on six-figure payouts — before any candidate has even thrown his or her hat into the ring. The starting bid to buy either ElectHillary.com or ReelectHillary.com at GoDaddy's domain name auction site: $275,000. RandPaul.com is being offered for $125,000. By comparison, the price of other names based on possible presidential hopefuls might be considered a steal: ChrisChristiePresident2016.com is up for grabs for $49,000, while TedCruzForCommanderinChief.com is $20,000, and ElizabethWarren2016.com goes for a mere $3,300. Jeremy Peter Green shelled out thousands of dollars to amass his collection of 180 domain names. The 26-year-old recent law school graduate says proudly, "As far as I know, I have a better 2016 collection than anyone else out there." Green's bipartisan, eclectic and sometimes long-shot list pairs former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a slew of possible Democratic vice presidential picks in domain names such as ClintonNapolitano.com, ClintonOMalley.com, and ClintonWarner.com, referring to former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, and Sen. Mark Warner (Va.). And Green is gambling on former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) running with Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) for BushAyotte.com. The Maryland native started focusing on 2016 well before the previous presidential showdown was decided, buying up domains shortly after finishing college in 2010. The domain name guessing game seemed like a natural fit for the self-professed political junkie, who worked as an autograph dealer in college to earn extra spending money. “The only political autographs that were really worth money were people that buyers thought might become president soon, or people that already were president, so I had to speculate on who was going to be president and then get things signed by them before they got big,” Green tells ITK. He’s banking on his Clinton names, saying the former first lady is “the single most likely candidate to be the first name” on the Democrats’ ticket. Indeed, more than 50 domains based on variations on Clinton’s name (including HillaryForPres2016.com for $8,300, HillaryNotPresident.com for $295,000, and YesHillaryCan.com for $49,995) are for sale on GoDaddy.com. But Green, like many other Internet entrepreneurs, also attempts to think outside the box when he’s buying up domains. He purchased a domain with the name of former Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño (R), saying, “I just think he’d be a cool ticket add-on for a Republican nominee, even though nobody will ever pick him.” He’s also placing his bets on Vice President Biden making a run again in 2016, but not for commander in chief: “I also like ClintonBiden[.com], even though nobody talks about Biden running for vice president again. I still think he’s more likely than any other individual candidate to be picked for that.” Since he buys his online acquisitions in bulk, Green pays about $8 a year per domain in his cache. Although he has yet to make a profit, he’s eyeing a big payout ahead of the presidential election. “Definitely if you happen to have the right two last names that end up on one of the two tickets, that is worth a lot of money. I think it’s worth low six-figures if you happen to have one of those.” Green says his goal is to sell all his domain names as a bundle to make money sooner rather than later. “I would only sell the bundle for tens of thousands, so it would still be a pretty good amount,” he says. But Bill Sweetman, president of the domain name consulting firm Name Ninja, says dreams of a big payday are likely pie in the political sky. “I am aware of hundreds of different examples of people registering these names in the hopes of somebody coming along and buying it from them,” Sweetman tells ITK. “I’m not aware of a single instance where a candidate or a group bought ‘Somebody’s name for president.com.’ ” While “technically not illegal,” according to Sweetman, snagging domain names in the hopes of selling them to a candidate or campaign “just doesn’t pass the sniff test.” Green, who works at a labor law firm, says he knows not everyone approves of his domain name buying spree. “It’s sort of a kind of bottom-feeding to a lot of people, I think … I mean I don’t think there’s anything to look down on about it, but I guess it’s just the idea of buying something that you don’t plan to use and then sitting on it until you can exploit it — that rubs people the wrong way,” he says. Sweetman says he appreciates the “predicting the future” aspect of 2016 domain name sellers, but contends as a general rule: “I still don’t think you should do that with political candidates or with people.” “It’s a gamble, and there are better ways. If you’re serious about making money and buying and selling domain names, you don’t play that game.” Instead, the domain name expert suggests researching things, not people, that might be all the buzz in a few years. “If you think the world is moving towards solar power, or some new thing you’re learning about … and you buy a bunch of those names and hope to sell them down the road, I think that’s fantastic," Sweetman says. Green says he has a game plan if his domain names prove to be a tough sell: “I will use them. I’ll make fun of the politicians if I’m unable to sell them.” That’s what Green, a Democrat, did in 2012, turning a domain name based on Rick Santorum into a blog poking fun of the former GOP presidential candidate. Asked if it ever pains him to plunk down money on domain names involving potential nominees on the opposing party’s ticket, Green replies, “No, the Republican ones are the easy ones for me to buy because if I can grab one of those domains before somebody else does and then charge as much as I can to Republican candidates, then I feel good about that.” Green pauses before adding, “It’s the Democrat ones I feel a little more ambivalent about. But I also don’t think it’s a big deal. Somebody’s going to grab them. It might as well be me.” *SouthFlorida.com: “More 'Hard Choices' for Hillary” <http://www.southflorida.com/sf-go-hillary-clinton-books-gables-100114-20141001,0,1236925.story>* By Phillip Valys October 1, 2014 Hillary Clinton's political memoir published in the spring, "Hard Choices," ends on a cliffhanger. In an acknowledgement of the will-she-or-won't-she question that has dogged her life since leaving the post of Secretary of State in 2013, she writes, "Over the past year, as I've traveled around the country once again, the one question I'm asked more than any other is: Will I run for President in 2016?" Her answer, naturally: "I haven't decided yet." So the presidential frontrunner may have some explaining to do when she appears Thursday at Books and Books in Coral Gables to sign copies of "Hard Choices." The 3:30 p.m. signing is expected to draw at least 1,000 visitors, or to say it more optimistically, 1,000 opportunities to coax a clear answer from the former first lady. Here's what to know before queuing up to visit Clinton: Expect to find now-Grandma Clinton in a more buoyant mood this week, as the book signing is her first since the birth of her granddaughter, Charlotte, last Friday. Another possible sign Clinton is warming up for a 2016 presidential run is her scheduled stop later that night in Miami, for a campaign dinner for Florida's Republican-turned-Democratic candidate for governor, Charlie Crist. Admission is the $35 book purchase, available at the bookstore (265 Aragon Ave.) or at BooksandBooks.com. Clinton's security detail will check visitors' bags, as well, so leave totes and purses in the car. *Des Moines Register: “Late-night comics joke about Iowa and Hillary” <http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/30/iowa-politics-jimmy-fallon-snl-hillary-clinton/16493963/>* By Jason Noble September 30, 2014, 5:40 p.m. CDT Late-night comics have rediscovered Iowa. The steady stream of potential 2016 presidential candidates visiting the state in recent weeks has caught the attention of comedians and made the state literally a punchline. On Saturday Night Live over the weekend, faux-news anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che noted Hillary Clinton's recent visit to the Harkin Steak Fry and her "Hello, Iowa, I'm back!" quip. "If I remember 2008 correctly," Che said, as a photo of '08 caucus winner and current President Barack Obama flashed on the screen, "that's not as effective as saying, 'Hello, Iowa, I'm black.'" Tonight Show Host Jimmy Fallon offered a string of jokes on Monday night on the birth of Bill and Hillary Clinton's first grandchild, including one with an allusion to Iowa's first in the nation caucuses. "Chelsea Clinton gave birth to a baby girl named Charlotte, she's already said her first word: 'Iowa!'" he said. "It's so cute. It's really adorable." *Time: “Meet the Clinton Baby’s Other Grandparents” <http://time.com/3450546/charlotte-clinton-mezvinsky-machatonim/>* By Landon Jones September 30, 2014 [Subtitle:] Or, as they're called in Yiddish, the 'machatonim' Even before Charlotte Clinton Mevzinsky headed home from the hospital on Monday, we had seen the first photos of her with her “over the moon” new grandparents, Bill and Hillary Clinton. But where were the machatonim? In case you’re wondering, machatonim is a Yiddish word that describes a relationship for which there is no equivalent word in English: the parents of your child’s spouse. And in the case of the Clintons, the machatonim are two longtime friends and allies: Marjorie Margolies and Edward Mevzinsky. Marjorie is a women’s rights activist and former Congresswoman from Pennsylvania who served a momentous single term in 1993-95 after her deciding vote for the Clinton budget cost her her seat. She ran but lost in the Democratic primary this spring, despite vigorous support from both Clintons. Her former husband, Edward Mevzinsky, served two terms in Congress from Iowa — but also served fived years in prison after being convicted of fraud in 2001. They were divorced in 2007. So maybe their low profile is understandable. “We are totally delighted,” Marjorie told TIME. What matters this week, anyway, is the relationship of the Clintons and the Margolies-Mevzinskys as machatonim — surely a more efficient way to put it than fumbling around awkwardly with phrases like “my daughter’s in-laws.” If Bill and Hillary are newcomers to their heightened status as grandparents, Marjorie and Ed are black-belt machatonim. Between their combined eleven children, they already have 18 grandchildren, thus presenting Charlotte with 18 cousins “who can’t wait to be part of Charlotte’s life,” Margolies says. It’s often pointed out that the machatonim often become uncommonly close for two reasons: (1) their shared love for the same grandchildren, and (2) because they and the grandchildren are united by a common enemy: the parents. So now begin the sensitive negotiations that are more than familiar to many grandparents. Which family will Charlotte (and, oh, her parents) visit for Thanksgiving? Or will they split the difference, Solomonically bolting after turkey dinner to commute to the Other Grandparents’ House for dessert? Who gives her the coolest presents? And, most terrifying, which grandparents does she says she loves the MOST? She will say she loves them all, of course. After all, at least genetically, all machatonim are created equal. *Washington Post blog: The Switch: “Meet Share America, the U.S. State Department’s Upworthy clone” <http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/09/30/meet-share-america-the-u-s-state-departments-upworthy-clone/>* By Nancy Scola September 30, 2014, 4:31 p.m. EDT The public diplomacy game is going viral, as Russia has been demonstrating of late with its remarkable agility in getting its message out about the Ukraine conflict in today's networked information environment. Eager to compete in what might be called social warfare, the United States has just soft-launched Share America, a new site that looks much like another enormously successful vendor of social media fodder, Upworthy. And what Share America is serving up is bite-sized nuggets of video, photos and text, all optimized to be as shareable as possible on the Web. The goal is to feed content aligned with stated American values -- "democracy, freedom of expression, innovation, entrepreneurship, education, and the role of civil society," reads the site -- in the ever-hungry maw of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social networks. "Share America is an effort to take the issues that the United States cares about, and present them in ways that people will find interesting and in turn share through their networks," said Macon Phillips, who leads the Bureau of International Information Programs at the State Department. "As I've traveled around to posts all over the world, one thing is clear: We use our social presences as the main way we publish information for audiences in those countries. And so we want to create and publish information that we can provide to our colleagues in the field through their own social network and to allies around the world who share our interests." State Department officials are taking a liberal view of what constitutes reflections of American interests. Leading the home page Tuesday was a video of Steve Jobs's 2005 commencement address at Stanford. But other posts are more straightforward, such as a White House photo that reveals the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote decorating the Oval Office's rug. Each Share America story comes equipped with prominent "Share This" and "Tweet This" buttons. And there's little hiding the source -- the .gov address is baked into each shared link, even in shortened form. American diplomats have long tried to win the information game. And under both previous Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and current Secretary John Kerry, the State Department has attempted to identify and even amplify the nuances of an increasingly horizontal world; the 21st Century Statecraft push centered on the idea that there is growing power in peer-to-peer communications. But now that formal outreach channels like Voice of America are competing with thousands, if not millions, of less formal channels, it can be difficult for governments to find traction. Tom Cochran, the former chief technology officer at Atlantic Media, joined the State Department in March, bringing his knowledge of how the modern, data-driven media environment works. Cochran is helping to drive the creation of Share America. Each post on the site is produced by State Department staff. Cochran will be among the first to know whether the world is, indeed, eager to share Share America's vision of America. But just as the Internet has revealed the world's common love of cat photos, officials are hoping that it will also reveal its love of American-style freedom. *The Daily Beast: “This Is How Eva Longoria Is Trying to Win the Midterms” <http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/01/this-is-how-eva-longoria-is-trying-to-win-the-midterms.html>* By Asawin Suebsaeng October 1, 2014 [Subtitle:] From working behind the scenes in the midterms to making a new farm labor documentary, the former Desperate Housewife has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in liberal politics. These days, if you’re a rising star in Democratic politics, it is downright weird if you don’t have Eva Longoria in your corner. The 39-year-old actress starred on the long-running ABC satire Desperate Housewives and in more lackluster theatrical fare such as Harsh Times and Over Her Dead Body. She’s done commercials for L’Oréal, and hosted Saturday Night Live. But her work as an entertainer isn’t what’s earning her the biggest headlines these days—it’s her role as a serious political activist and powerhouse in Democratic politics. “Eva is so much more than a celebrity who occasionally lends her name to causes,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ)—with whom Longoria enthusiastically campaigned during his Senate run last year—told The Daily Beast. “Eva immerses herself in the pursuit of social and political justice. She knows the issues, is a great strategist, and is willing to sacrifice popularity for her larger sense of purpose. When I first met her, I was impressed and inspired by the fact that her activism is at the center of her being, and it is that authenticity that I believe makes her such a potent force for progressive change.” During the 2012 presidential election, Longoria was an Obama campaign co-chair and one of the president’s top bundlers, and she delivered one of the more memorable speeches at the 2012 Democratic National Convention. “[Mitt Romney] would raise taxes on middle-class families to cut his own—and mine,” she said, building up to one of the convention’s biggest applause lines. “That’s not who we are as a nation, and let me tell you why: Because the Eva Longoria who worked at Wendy’s flipping burgers—she needed a tax break. But the Eva Longoria who works on movie sets does not.” Longoria’s impressive dive into politics and advocacy also includes working with first lady Michelle Obama on the anti-obesity Let’s Move! campaign, traveling to Capitol Hill to drum up support for the Children’s Act for Responsible Employment (CARE Act), and even trying her hand at endorsing student body presidents. And when the actress met with Obama in 2012 following Congress’s failure to move on immigration reform, she pushed the president to get more productively “emotional” and to take swift executive action to protect undocumented kids. (Two months later, that’s exactly what he did.) “I've always been politically active,” Longoria told The Daily Beast. “I've been involved since Clinton ran in ’92, volunteering, going door-to-door, canvassing, phone-banking…And coming from the state of Texas—the country of Texas, I should say—I’m definitely at the forefront.” Her new role as a leading Latina power broker has brought her glowing coverage: “Eva Longoria Is Obama's Newest Hispanic Political Power Chip” “The year of the political Latino celebrity, starring Eva Longoria” “Can Eva Longoria start a Latino political movement?” “Eva Longoria Moves From Desperate Housewife to Political Power Player” Longoria has been instrumental in building an operation and network dedicated to encouraging more Latino and Latina political participation, and to getting more Latinos elected to local, state, and federal offices—and she isn’t slowing down for the 2014 midterms, or at any point in the foreseeable future. “We had this amazing turnout in 2012…yet in the midterms, nobody shows up!” Longoria said. “It’s across the board. You can’t elect the president, then sit and stay home and not elect the people he has to work with…I love and adore Hillary [Clinton], but I’m definitely not going to be speaking about 2016 until we can continue to fix what’s on our agenda…We need to show our disappointment in the midterm elections; [at] this lame-duck Congress that won’t get anything done.” During this election season, the actress/activist has been working mostly as a behind-the-scenes operator: voter registration efforts, fundraising, getting out the vote, campaign events, and—not so behind-the-scenes—social media. (She told The Daily Beast that she is supporting “many people” this November but declined to name a few, so as not to appear to be publicly playing favorites.) She’s been an active supporter of Voto Latino, an organization geared toward Latino Millennials, since its inception in 2008. When the group launched its Latinos 2014 project, Longoria was standing by. “Eva and her organization the Latino Victory Project kindly jumped on board immediately,” Maria Teresa Kumar, president of Voto Latino, told The Daily Beast. “Not just reaching out to their networks, but also reaching out to other celebrity voices to help us during the [midterms].” This outreach includes a soon-to-launch photo campaign that will showcase celebrities holding up handwritten signs reading, “I’m asking you: Register to vote.” “In 2010, Eva was one of the biggest advocates for United We Win, which went up against the SB 1070 law in Arizona,” Kumar said, referring to the state’s immigration law. “Eva lent her voice to make sure that didn’t happen [in other states]. She would be up at 5 in the morning hitting different radio stations across the country to remind folks to register to vote.” And her work with the Latino Victory Project—which includes the Latino Victory PAC—runs even deeper. Founded by Longoria and DNC finance chairman Henry Muñoz, the project focuses on building Latino political power nationwide in order to “institutionalize what happened in 2012,”, as Longoria has previously described it. (The Republican National Committee has called the project out as a “Democrat[ic] front group.”) As co-founder, she does everything from approving press releases to sending voter information to the project’s databases. “We have never had a Latina elected to the U.S. Senate. Eva wants to change that,” Cristóbal Alex, president of the Latino Victory Project, told The Daily Beast. “She is one of the only people in the country who can spearhead an effort, build an organization from scratch, who can do that…She has been creating a leadership pipeline.” Longoria and Muñoz also co-founded the Futuro Fund, which hauled in more than $32 million from more than 100,000 donors for Obama’s reelection. “The two of them really figured out how to get Latinos to flex their muscle with their pocketbook, too—not just at the ballot box,” Alex said. “She was certainly one of the primary drivers for the fund, one of the key spokespeople.” Alex recounted one of the first times he met Longoria, when the two attended a meeting at The Atlantic Philanthropies in New York City at the end of 2011. “This was the first time I had ever sat in a room with her to have a high-level conversation about strategy and politics, and about how to advance immigration reform, and she absolutely ran that conversation…Everyone in the room looked to her on her thoughts on strategy and guidance.” Longoria has discussed with Alex the possibility of headlining events to engage voters in Texas, her home state and “the state with one of the largest numbers of unregistered Latino voters,” Alex noted. The Latino Victory Project has a number of these activities planned for late October but is still hashing out the details. And though Longoria dreams of one day seeing a Latino or Latina commander in chief sworn in, she has shot down any talk about running for public office herself. “Would I ever run for something?” she wrote in The Hollywood Reporter in 2012. “God, no. I have more power as a citizen. Once you become a politician, your hands are tied. I’d rather have a voice.” There’s at least one colleague who hopes she’s changed her mind since then. “I’m sure if she weren’t so busy being a movie star, she could be in the White House,” Alex said. “Or governor of the state of Texas, or certainly in the Senate. Maybe she’ll be the first Latina senator…I don’t say that jokingly. She’s brilliant.” For the time being, it looks like Longoria doesn’t have time to consider a running for office, even if she wanted to. “Ninety-nine percent of my time right now is devoted to helping Latinas through educational programs,” she said, referring to the Eva Longoria Foundation. She also has her hands full with Eva’s Heroes—a nonprofit she co-founded to help people with special needs—and promoting Food Chains, a Human Rights Watch-endorsed documentary that she executive-produced. The film examines labor in the U.S. agriculture sector and the “immoral practices” that affect thousands of farm workers. (Longoria calls agriculture the “backbone of America.”) “There are still so many labor laws that are broken daily, and there are so many labor laws that exclude agriculture that we have not changed or updated,” she said. Going forward, Longoria and her political allies are, of course, going to renew their campaign for comprehensive immigration reform, a stalled ambition of the Obama presidency. Longoria says she has not spoken with the Obama since news broke that he had delayed further executive action on immigration until after the November election. (That political calculation naturally pissed off a lot of Latino activists.) However, Longoria says she is not angered by the president’s delay; she’s forming another game plan. “We were extremely disappointed that we couldn’t get immigration reform done,” she said. “But we’re still pushing and working on something.” And it’s this optimism that drives so much of her advocacy and action. “We can’t dismiss the growing population, the changing demographics of our country,” Longoria noted. “And with that comes exciting times for everybody in America.” *Calendar:* *Sec.
