Rep. Jennifer Wexton (VA-10) – Frontline Co-Chair
“In the last midterm elections, our nation saw so many talented Democrats flip seats across the country from red to blue, and it’s critical we protect their seats going into 2022. I’m ready to get to work with Chairman Maloney and stand shoulder to shoulder with our Frontliners to help them win re-election so we can continue building on the success our Democratic House majority has achieved.”
Rep. Marc Veasey (TX-33) – Recruitment Chair
“The Democratic party has no shortage of intelligent and compassionate public servants who are ready to run for Congress and join House Democrats in our fight for the people. I’m excited to work with Chairman Maloney and serve as a leader in our efforts to recruit strong candidates across the battlefield and expand our House majority.”
Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-53) – Recruitment Co-Chair
“There are so many Democrats, from coast to coast, who are ready to answer the call to service and help us grow our House majority.

Rep. Joe Neguse (CO-02) – Recruitment Co-Chair
“The American people voted for Democrats to lead in the House, Senate, and White House this past election cycle, so we know voters are eager to see Democrats across the country elected and start working for them.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) – Organizing Chair
“The Democrats are the party of the vast majority of Americans and it’s our historic assignment in the DCCC to organize this majority into powerfully successful voting coalitions in all 50 states. Organizing is the only way we can counter and overcome the GOP’s manipulation of gerrymandering, dark money, and tactics of voter suppression and disenfranchisement to entrench their minority rule. I know Chairman Maloney and the whole DCCC team are ready to safely get our organizers back in the field to work face-to-face with local activists, organizers, and leaders in communities all over the country. We will defend and expand our House majority on the ground through grassroots infrastructure and organizing.”

Rep. Donald Norcross (NJ-01) – Labor Co-Chair
