The center-left New Democrat Coalition (NDC) voted on Nov. 20 to elect Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) as chair to lead the effort to push for the moderate policies the House caucus promotes in the 119th Congress.

Previous NDC Chair Rep. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.) praised Schneider as a practical, commonsense leader “needed more than ever.”
