Are Clinton's people on platform committee liberals?

Clinton chose Wendy Sherman, a former State Department official under Clinton; Neera Tanden, a former aide and president of the Center for American Progress; Ohio state Rep. Alicia Reece; Luis V. Gutierrez, a congressman from Illinois; former White House environmental advisor Carol Browner; and Paul Booth, a union leader.

I'm not very familiar with them. Are they liberals?

But, clearly, the definition of liberal is in flux.
