Florida Congresswoman in the Running to Chair DCCC

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (see photo), who represents communities in South Florida, is one of three Democratic members of Congress being considered for the Chairmanship of the Democratic Congressinal Campaign Committee. Current Chair, Illinois Congressman Rahm Emmanuel, is stepping after a successful election that saw Democrats retake both chambers of Congress.

Since winning her seat in 2004, Schultz has earned a reputation as a strong fundraiser and has campaigned aggressively for other Democrats (her own seat, formerly held by Peter Deustche, it considered safe).
