Wasserman Schultz gets national Democratic post

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, has been selected a vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

She was one of four vice presidents selected at the DNC's recent winter meeting.

Wasserman Schultz is a rising Democratic star in Congress.

Serving her third term, she's a subcommittee chairwoman on the Appropriations Committee, a coveted role that makes her one of a select group of lawmakers with outsized influence on federal spending priorities. She also plays a key role in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the party apparatus responsible for electing more Democrats to the House.


Here's the DNC press release about its leadership elections.
