Rep. Steve Israel recently stepped down as DCCC Chairman (too bad – he did such a great job!).
After a really rough 2014 cycle where Democrats had no discernible message outside of a phony, failed “war on women” Democrats decided they needed a Chairman with a clearer, more liberal message. So today it was announced that Nancy Pelosi hand picked Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (NM-03) as the next DCCC Chairman.
A couple fun facts about Rep. Lujan:
- He thinks Obamacare didn’t go far enough
- He voted for a budget that would raise taxes and impose a carbon taxe
The good news for Democrats?
- There’s only one other Democrat congressman in New Mexico, so at least Lujan has far fewer home-state seats to lose than Rep. Israel did!
