About the DCCC
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is the official campaign arm of the Democrats in the House. The DCCC is the only political committee in the country whose principal mission is to support Democratic House candidates every step of the way.
Supporting the DCCC is the single most effective step you can take to continue leading our country in a new direction. By securing and strengthening our Democratic Majority in 2010 through protecting our Democratic members and electing new Democrats to Congress we can keep moving America forward.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, DCCC Chair
In December 2008, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that Representative Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) will serve in an expanded role as Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and Assistant to the Speaker for the 2009-2010 election cycle. This marks Chairman Van Hollen's second term leading the DCCC.
In 2008, Chairman Van Hollen successfully guided House Democrats to expanding their Congressional Majority just two years after winning it. Under his leadership, Democrats gained 24 seats in the House in 2008. This marked the first time in history that a party won back-to-back wave elections.
First elected to Congress in a high-profile election in 2002, Chairman Van Hollen is a strong believer in grassroots campaigning. In his 2002 campaign, he built a strong local grassroots network and became one of only two Democratic challengers to unseat a Republican incumbent. He quickly earned a reputation as a giant-slayer in Washington.
