Two lawmakers announce bids to succeed Bustos at DCCC

The Hill

Two Democrats on Monday night quickly jumped into the race to replace the party’s House campaign chief, Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, who said hours earlier she would not seek a second term after Democrats suffered a disappointing election night.

Reps. Tony Cárdenas (Calif.) and Sean Patrick Maloney (N.Y.) both informed colleagues that they are running to be chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for the 2022 cycle.

The closed-door, secret-ballot leadership elections are set for next week.

Others said to be eyeing the race include Rep. Linda Sánchez (Calif.), a former Democratic caucus vice chair and former Hispanic Caucus chair; and two Texans, Reps. Marc Veasey and Colin Allred, who are both members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
