With Elections Certified, DPI Chair Hernandez Congratulates the Party’s DSCC Members

Springfield, IL — With the elections of Democratic State Central Committee members across Illinois now certified, Democratic Party of Illinois Chair Lisa Hernandez released the following statement: 

“The Democratic State Central Committee is our guiding force as a state party,” said DPI Chair Hernandez. “As elected officials, labor and community organizers, issue advocates, and political experts in their regions, they help us connect with voters across the state and grow the Party. After today’s election, I’m proud of the continued commitment of current members and wholeheartedly welcome the newest members who will bring a fresh perspective to our Party. I’m thankful in advance for their work over the next four years.”

Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) members are the face of the Democratic Party in each of Illinois’ 17 congressional districts. DSCC members serve on standing committees and caucuses, lead voter engagement efforts in their respective districts, and help guide Party programming. They assist with coalition-building, fundraising, and electing Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in Illinois, as well as the election of the presidential and vice presidential nominees during National Convention years.
