Suzan DelBene Reappointed DCCC Chair for 2026

Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington has been reappointed as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, aiming to recapture the House majority in 2026. DelBene's leadership previously resulted in a net gain of two House seats despite Republicans maintaining a narrow 220-215 majority. Jeffries praised her strategic abilities, noting the importance of protecting battleground incumbents and flipping additional seats. The DCCC's performance was viewed positively amid broader Democratic losses in the Senate and presidential elections. Both parties are retaining their campaign chiefs for the upcoming cycle, with Republicans selecting Richard Hudson for the National Republican Congressional Committee. DelBene expressed her commitment to continue the efforts to reclaim the House majority.
