The decision to appoint Rep. Suzan DelBene is a blow to Reps. Tony Cárdenas and Ami Bera, who had openly campaigned for the position.
Incoming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Tuesday named Suzan DelBene to chair House Democrats’ campaign arm, bypassing the two Californians who were actively seeking the post.
“She is the right leader, with the right experience and the right demeanor to meet this pivotal moment,” said Jeffries, who next month will take the reins from outgoing House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi . His decision is a blow to Reps. Ami Bera and Tony Cárdenas , who both had expressed interest in the job. They had declared their candidacy for the post when it was still among the party leadership positions decided by a caucus-wide election.But last month Democrats decided instead to give Jeffries the authority to select a DCCC head, subject to confirmation by the full caucus.
Their race took an ugly turn, particularly amid House Democratic leadership elections that were unusually civil this year. Critics of Cárdenas recirculated reports about a 2019 lawsuit that alleged he had years earlier molested a 16-year-old girl.
