Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has been appointed to lead the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) for the 2026 election cycle, tasked with regaining the party’s Senate majority.
Gillibrand highlighted her 2024 reelection success and her role in helping Democrats win three House seats in New York as proof of her campaign strategy expertise. She aims to apply these lessons to key battleground states like North Carolina and Wisconsin while defending Democratic seats in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
A senator since 2009, Gillibrand also serves on Intelligence, Armed Services, and Appropriations Committees and chairs the Special Committee on Aging.
