Congressman Steve Israel will be the chair the DCCC's Recruiting Committee, responsible for working with our Members and allies to identify and recruit topnotch candidates in districts around the country. Israel has been a Member of the Recruiting Committee for the past two cycles when Democrats made an historic 54 seat gain.
"Congressman Steve Israel's aggressive leadership of the Recruiting Committee is critical to our success this cycle," said Chairman Chris Van Hollen. "Steve is a savvy, battle tested campaigner who will be an enormous asset to our candidates."
Congressman Steve Israel said, "I'm looking forward to continuing my work with the DCCC Recruiting Committee in a new leadership role. An aggressive offense is an essential part of our strategy for success this cycle. The DCCC will continue to recruit the best candidates in districts around the country and ensure they have the infrastructure and support they need to hit the ground running."
I've got a suggestion for Rep Israel. Start close to home and get us a great candidate for the district next door, NY-3.
