Rep. Lori Trahan Elected Co-Chair of Democratic Policy and Communications Committee

Trahan's election is seen as a strategic move towards defeating 'Republican extremism' and retaking the House in the 2024 elections.

Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) has been elected as the new co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC), the main messaging arm of the House Democratic caucus.
Trahan won the position with a vote of 132-71, defeating Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.).
The DPCC position was previously held by Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who stepped down to challenge President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary.
Trahan, first elected in 2019, has served in various positions in the House, including on House Minority Whip Katherine Clark’s (D-Mass.) whip team and the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.
Trahan's election to the DPCC is seen as a step towards defeating 'Republican extremism' and retaking the House in the 2024 elections.
