Dear Colleagues,

I hope everyone’s August is going well.

I’m writing to share with you some additional information on the broad and open search for the DCCC Executive Director. The job description and application are posted on our website and will remain open until Aug. 21. You can view the notice here: DCCC Executive Director.

Please share the posting with your networks. Our hope is to have many talented and diverse candidates apply for this critically important job.

We are taking several other important steps to ensure this process is thorough and inclusive:

First, I’d like to encourage you to provide feedback and suggestions regarding our Executive Director search by filling out this online questionnaire.

Secondly, I am pleased to let you know our colleagues listed below have agreed to join our member advisory council that will work closely with me throughout this process: • Charlie Crist, Regional Vice Chair • Madeleine Dean, Regional Vice Chair • Suzan DelBene, DCCC Frontline Co-Chair • Val Demings, Recruitment Co-Chair • Robin Kelly, DCCC WomenLEAD Co-Chair • Gwen Moore, Regional Vice Chair • Scott Peters, Regional Vice Chair • Raul Ruiz, DCCC TEAM Co-Chair • Linda Sanchez, DCCC Labor Council Co-Chair • Brad Schneider, DCCC Frontline Co-Chair • Mark Takano, DCCC LGBT Council Co-Chair and Veteran/Service Council Co-Chair • Marc Veasey, Regional Vice Chair Lastly, I have asked a group of diverse and experienced political strategists with firsthand knowledge of the DCCC (Raghu Devaguptapu, Jacqui Newman, Dan Sena, Doug Thornell and Kelly Ward) to lend their expertise and years of experience to this process.

And we have brought on a Senior Advisor to help manage the search and selection process.

We are moving quickly to fill this role, but we will do so in a way that honors the values of the most diverse House Democratic Caucus in U.S. history.

I look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions. Thank you.

Kindest Personal Regards, Cheri Bustos
