Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said her group will emphasize field organizing and digital strategy in its mission to keep the House majority in 2020, Roll Call reported on Friday.
Bustos made her comments to Democratic House members at their annual retreat on Friday. Excerpts of her remarks were obtained by Roll Call.
“We know our job is different this time.,” she said. “With the sheer size of our battlefield, we know what we can control, and what we can’t. We can’t control the presidential primaries. We can’t control Senate races competing for national attention. What we can control is our energy, our focus and our determination to lock down our majority.”
She said there will be an early emphasis on field organization and the DCCC is “doubling down” on its digital strategy.
The DCCC announced this week it was opening an office in Austin, Texas as it looks to boost its efforts in the state.
