DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene: Three Seats From Taking Back the House | At Our Table

With midterms just days away, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene is counting seats. In her second term leading the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Washington Democrat says race raters have shifted contests toward Democrats 199 times since Labor Day.

She walks through the races she's watching, from Joanna Mendoza in Arizona's 6th to Janelle Stelson's rematch in Pennsylvania's 10th, and explains how the DCCC decides where limited money goes when every campaign wants more. Voters, she says, are drowning in high prices and losing their health care, and misinformation makes it harder than ever to reach them.

That's why her strategy starts with the candidates themselves, because when people know who Democrats are running, Democrats win.
