DNC Names Roger Lau as Executive Director Following Leadership Shakeup

Newly elected DNC Chair Ken Martin appoints experienced operative Roger Lau to help rebuild the party after its 2024 election losses.

Roger Lau, who previously managed Elizabeth Warren's 2020 presidential campaign, has been named the new executive director of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Ken Martin, the recently elected DNC chair, emphasized Lau's extensive experience and commitment to supporting Democratic values and grassroots organizing.
The appointment is seen as a continuation of the party's existing strategies, despite criticism following significant losses in the 2024 elections.
Lau's leadership team includes Libby Schneider as deputy executive director and Jessica Wright as chief of staff to the chair, alongside other associate chairs from across the party.
The DNC faces mounting pressure to redefine its strategy and messaging as it works to counter Republican dominance and prepare for upcoming elections.
