New Dems Congratulate Abigail Spanberger on Becoming Battleground Leadership Representative

Today, New Democrat Coalition (NDC) Chair Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the below statement celebrating New Dem Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s (VA-07) election as Battleground Leadership Representative. 

New Dem Leadership previously endorsed New Dem Rep. Susie Lee’s (NV-03) caucus rules amendment to create a Battleground Leadership Representative within Democratic Leadership and endorsed Rep. Spanberger for the position.

“New Dems are incredibly proud of New Dem Rep. Abigail Spanberger on her election to House Democratic Leadership as the Battleground Leadership Representative. She will be a much needed and powerful voice at the leadership table for Battleground Members. 

“New Dems applaud both Rep. Spanberger and Rep. Susie Lee for stepping up to ensure our Battleground Members are heard and supported in Congress. The vast majority of Battleground Members are New Dems, who represent diverse communities across the country. Most importantly, they know how to protect, flip, and win seats that will help us regain the Democratic Majority. This new position will only make our Caucus stronger, and we are looking forward to working closely with Rep. Spanberger and House Democratic Leadership as we work to take back the House.”
