The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) announced today that veteran Democratic strategist Devan Barber will serve as the DSCC’s Executive Director for the 2026 cycle. Additionally the DSCC announced Jessica Knight Henry and Andrew Piatt will return to the Committee with expanded roles. Knight Henry will serve as Deputy Executive Director and Chief Diversity and Inclusion officer, providing strategic guidance on the DSCC’s political, finance and operations work. Piatt will serve as Director of Campaigns and Paid Media Strategy, leading the Committee’s work on media expenditures and advising campaigns.
“Devan, Jessica and Andrew are among the most talented, smart and tenacious strategists I have ever met. They have shown time and again that they know how to win the toughest campaigns,” said Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer. “This team will guide our Senate campaigns to success and ensure Democrats regain the Senate majority so we can deliver on the priorities that matter most to hardworking Americans.”
“I also want to thank Christie Roberts for her amazing leadership of the DSCC through multiple campaign cycles,” continued Senate Leader Chuck Schumer. “Her steady, strategic guidance has contributed to some of our most important wins, and she is handing off the DSCC in the best possible position.”
I actually could care less about who they are; the important part is what they do, and frankly the DSCC over performed in the 2024 cycle, so bringing them back is good news for our party
What's everyone's thoughts on the new Executive Director for the DSCC? Is this someone who brings in credibility to it?
