Suzan DelBene has represented Washington’s 1st Congressional District since 2012, bringing a lifetime of business experience and community service to Washington, DC.

In Congress, Suzan has worked to build an economy that works for everyone, lower costs, and defend the rights and freedoms guaranteed to all of us. On the Ways and Means Committee, she’s been a national leader — driving efforts to make the expanded Child Tax Credit permanent, which helped cut child poverty in half, and pushing bipartisan solutions to build more affordable housing.

She’s fought to make college and health care more affordable, protect farmers, create a fairer tax code that drives job growth, and expand opportunity for every family. Now, as Chair of the DCCC, Suzan is leading the fight to win back the House majority in 2026 and make Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker.

Whip Katherine Clark is a force for change and a champion for Massachusetts’s 5th Congressional District. Since her first election, she has fought for women, children, and families – making sure the issues discussed around kitchen tables are heard in Washington. In 2022, her colleagues elected her Democratic Whip, making her the highest-ranking woman in Congress and only the second woman in history to hold the role.

Guided by her belief that politics should serve people, Katherine has built a career at every level of government—as a local school committee member, state legislator, and senior official in Massachusetts agencies—before coming to Congress.

Now in leadership, she is driving the fight to end wage discrimination, safeguard abortion rights, curb gun violence, expand affordable child care, and secure paid leave. She is equally committed to electing more Democrats to the House to advance these values and deliver for American families.

Joe Neguse was first elected in 2018 to represent Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the first African-American elected to serve in Congress in Colorado history. Six years later, he was unanimously elected by his colleagues to serve as the Assistant Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives.

In Congress, Joe has worked tirelessly to serve his community and expand opportunities for the people of Colorado. He has had 30 of his bills signed into law (the most of any member of Colorado’s delegation), including legislation to preserve Colorado’s public lands, protect consumers, expand opportunities for small businesses, and invest in our rural schools and mountain economies.

Prior to being elected to Congress, Joe served as an attorney, civic leader, and public official who spent his career fighting to expand opportunities for families across Colorado. Joe and his wife Andrea consider themselves incredibly lucky to call beautiful Boulder County home, where they are raising their two young children, Natalie and Joshua.
