Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI, 6th District), will continue to serve as the Chairwoman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC), after defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX, 30th District) Tuesday. The Tally results were 152 for Dingell and 59 for Crockett.
Crockett launched Her Challenge for DPCC Chairwoman on Nov. 15th, not giving Her much time to Rally Support among Her Fellow House Democrats, many whom have established Relationships with Dingell over the years.
Reps. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA, 19th District), Gabe Vasquez (D-NM, 2nd District), and Gwen Moore (D-WI, 4th District), as well as Rep.-Elect Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI, 8th District), gave Nominating Speeches for Dingell, while Crockett was the Only One who Spoke.
Ahead of the DPCC Election, Dingell said She reached out to every Member of the Democratic Caucus. A House Democrat said Dingell’s Calls involved Her asking how She can Help and what Members need from Her moving forward.
Crockett’s Challenge to Dingell, signaled a New Generation of House Democrats looking to bring Fresh Blood into the Leadership, particularly after the 2024 Election, when many Democrats felt the Party lacked effective Messaging to get Vice President Kamala Harris (D) Elected.
