Senate Dems hire former Warren aide to lead 2018 effortLisa Hagen
The Hill
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is recruiting Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) former campaign manager to helm the party's efforts to retake Senate control in 2018.
Mindy Myers will be the first woman to serve as DSCC executive director. Myers oversaw the committee’s independent expenditures in the 2016 cycle.
Myers’s political experience is mainly in the Northeast, and Democrats will be defending seats in red states including Ohio, Missouri, North Dakota and Montana.
But Myers, who’s from South Dakota, noted that she grew up in an area that's primarily Republican.
“I really believe that the American people, and even independent voters in these red states agree with the Democratic principles on economic issues,” Myers told Roll Call in a March interview.
