DescriptionBy Jonathan E. Kaplan

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) will lead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Frontline program, which is designed to help the most vulnerable Democrats win reelection.

DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) announced the decision yesterday in a memorandum that also said Democrats would organize early to raise money and staff up to defend their new majority. The DCCC two weeks ago released a memo explaining how it would target Republican seats.

In the most recent document, Van Hollen wrote that Frontline Democrats must raise between $650,000 and $1 million by June 30; build a network of 30,000 e-mail addresses by November 2008; and identify 1,000 volunteers.

Van Hollen also will have a “mentor program” with seasoned incumbent Reps. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) and Jim Matheson (D-Utah) advising Democrats who won Republican seats on how to win reelection.
