The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced its leadership team for the 2026 cycle on Thursday. Washington Rep. Suzan DelBene, who is leading House Democrats campaign arm for a second straight cycle, released a roster, shared first with CQ Roll Call, of nearly three dozen lawmakers who will serve in fundraising, recruitment and messaging roles ahead of next years midterm elections.
Less than two months into the Republican governing trifecta, voters are already fed up as Republicans choose chaos and corruption over delivering on campaign promises like lowering costs, DelBene said in a statement. Along with our Frontliners and Red to Blue candidates, this group will be instrumental in holding Republicans accountable, and I look forward to working with them to take back the House Majority in 2026.
House Republicans are defending a razor-thin majority heading into the midterms, which traditionally favor the party in opposition to the president. Democrats picked up a net of one House seat in last falls elections a rare bright spot in a year that saw them lose the White House and the Senate.
Reps. Lizzie Fletcher of Texas, Sara Jacobs of California, Rob Menendez of New Jersey and Mark Pocan of Wisconsin will serve as the four regional DCCC vice chairs this cycle. Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, will return as a national finance co-chair. Shell be joined by California Rep. Ted Lieu, a member of House Democratic leadership as caucus vice chair, and Virginia Rep. Donald S. Beyer Jr. New York Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will return as abroad finance chair, helping raise money from American expatriates.
