MoveOn.org Looks to Nudge Elizabeth Warren Into 2016 Presidential Race

WASHINGTON — Some Democrats are “Ready for Hillary.” MoveOn.org is ready for Elizabeth Warren.
The liberal group is poised to spend $1 million on a campaign to draft Senator Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, into the 2016 presidential race, an indication of an appetite among some activists for a more progressive alternative to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
MoveOn.org’s executive director, Ilya Sheyman, said the group planned to open offices and hire staff in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states that kick off the presidential nominating process, and ultimately to air television ads in those states. The group will begin its push with a website, “Run Warren Run,” allowing supporters to sign a petition urging Ms. Warren to pursue a White House bid and featuring a video about her.
“We want to demonstrate to Senator Warren that there’s a groundswell of grass-roots energy nationally and in key states and to demonstrate there’s a path for her,” Mr. Sheyman said. He added that the effort was not being made in coordination with Ms. Warren and that the group advised her staff about it only last weekend.
Ms. Warren, who is entering her third year in the Senate, has fast become a favorite among liberal activists for her unapologetic brand of economic populism, but she has also repeatedly denied any interest in pursuing the presidency.
“As Senator Warren has said many times, she is not running for president,” said Lacey Rose, Ms. Warren’s press secretary, regarding the draft effort.
Such comments have not, however, dissuaded her admirers. MoveOn.org is set to survey its eight million members for one day starting Tuesday, with the expectation that they will affirm its support of the effort to nudge Ms. Warren into the race. She is well regarded by the group, having gotten its support in her 2012 race and joining members on conference calls during her time in the Senate on such issues as student loan debt.
Mrs. Clinton is a popular figure among Democrats and enjoys a wide lead in early polls, but some progressives are wary of her style of politics and believe that widening income disparities in the country call for a more confrontational figure.
Ms. Warren, a former Harvard law professor, is the most sought-after candidate among this liberal bloc, but others could fill the void if she remains on the sidelines. Former Senator Jim Webb of Virginia has already opened an exploratory committee, and Senator Bernie Sanders, a liberal independent from Vermont, and Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland have also discussed presidential bids.
Asked about Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Sheyman said the group’s effort was unrelated “to any other candidate,” but added that MoveOn.org members want a Democratic nominee who fits the moment.
“Voters are looking for bold solutions about how you fix a rigged system in which middle- and working-class families are falling behind,” he said.
Whether there is significant energy behind the “Run Warren Run” effort may be known soon: MoveOn.org is planning a kickoff on next Tuesday in Des Moines.

Elizabeth Warren defends Fannie and Freddie
Posted by
CNN Correspondent Erin McPike
Washington (CNN) - Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts Tuesday took her crusade for income equality in the United States to the 100th annual convention of the Mortgage Bankers Association.
In remarks at the Washington Convention Center, Warren admonished the rapid growth of sub-prime mortgages as the underlying cause of the housing crisis that has dragged on for the last several years while defending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-backed housing finance giants that required a massive bailout in 2008 when their housing investments soured.
"Home ownership remains the centerpiece of the American dream," she said.
Citing lower down payments than in other parts of the world and the prevalence of 30-year mortgages, she pressed, "It's critical that we fight to maintain the unique character of American housing."
And getting housing reform wrong as it moves through Congress, she said, would be disastrous for the middle class.
"We need reform, but it must be targeted reform that preserves the good things about the pre-crisis system," she said, adding that good reform could temper the boom-bust cycle of the housing market.
Sens. Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, and Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, have introduced a bill to reform government involvement in the housing market. Warren applauded the two moderate Senators efforts for putting the issue in motion but warned that it isn't a perfect bill.
Instead, she offered her own five-pronged approach to housing reform.
First, Warren pressed the need for the government to explicitly guarantee mortgage-backed securities.
"The housing market is so important and so large," she said, "there is no plausible scenario in which the government does not guarantee at least a portion of it."
She pressed the need to adequately regulate market participants, increase beneficial loan modifications and ensure smaller lenders have a place in the market.
"We must not end up with a housing market that crowds out smaller financial institutions," said Warren, one of the key architects of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The freshman Democrat has become a darling of progressives, and her populist approach to policy could make her an attractive candidate to the left in the 2016 presidential primaries if she pursues a bid. Several small progressive groups in Washington already are trying to present Warren as an alternative to a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy.
