Tom Perez
In a Saturday blogpost  Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez vowed to enact reforms to the partyâs presidential nominating process aimed at ensuring that âthe new DNC will work to rebuild trust with the people we represent.â
âI am more committed than ever before to restoring votersâ faith in our democratic process because even the perception of impartiality or an unfair advantage undermines our ability to win â  Perez  said. âThat is unacceptable.â
The âprinciplesâ  Perez  plans to employ include deciding the presidential primary debate schedule well before voting in the contests begins and making transparent to the public any joint fundraising agreements the DNC makes.
 He  also promised to support the work of the Unity Reform Commission  a panel formed in July 2016 as a compromise with delegates who backed Sanders at the Democratic National Convention.
âWe will work with the Unity Reform Commission to implement their collective recommendations for meaningful change in our party â  Perez  said.
