A series of political missteps early in Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney’s (D-NY) tenure as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has some Democrats reportedly questioning whether he is capable of protecting the Democrats’ slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
A “plugged-in” House Democrat staffer told the
New York Post this weekend that Democrat members are concerned Maloney is not doing an effective job as chairman of the party’s reelection efforts.
“Members are discouraged with him right now,” the House Democrat aide, who was anonymous, said. “People would like for him to focus on how to protect vulnerable and moderate members and how do we do incumbency protection when [progressives] are coming after us for seats.”

Washington Free Beacon. The income appears to come over the course of four months the unit was first listed for $2,500 a month in June 2019 and the posting was removed in August.
YORK Central MP Rachael Maskell has welcomed the Rowntree research as a painful but positive first step in better understanding the gross errors of the past - and also the continuing extent of racism and discrimination in Britain today. The MP said: It is very honest that they (the Rowntree Society) have produced this piece of work. That is to be welcomed. We have to have a learning culture and as part of that we have to recognise the gross errors that have been made in the past. The Rowntree research was particularly compelling because of who Rowntree was, Ms Maskell said.
