Tech for Campaigns, created to get Democrats elected, on the parties' biggest differences

Yesterday, a 450-page "investigation on competition in digital markets" was published by the House based on 16 months of evidence gathering, including interviews with employees and past employees and others with first-hand knowledge of the inner workings of Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple. Likely, that doesn't surprise Jessica Alter, the cofounder of Tech for Campaigns, an organization that was once described as a Democratic Geek Squad owing to its mission to match volunteers from the tech world -- engineers, data scientists, product managers, marketing pros -- with Democratic campaigns in need of a winning digital strategy. Alter, who says Tech for Campaigns's volunteer network now numbers more than 14,000, talked with us late last week about just how different the political parties are fundamentally, likening the Republican National Committee to a "conglomerate," and the Democrats's approach as far more decentralized -- often to the latter's disadvantage.
