DCCC makes major investment in minority communities ahead of 2022 midterms

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee plans to make a seven-figure investment in its Democracy Summer Program to bolster outreach in communities of color.

As Republicans lead efforts to restrict voting rights across the country, in what they describe as efforts to keep elections secure, Democrats have been trying to figure out how to effectively galvanize minority voting blocs ahead of the 2022 midterms, key bases needed for the party to maintain the majority of the House of Representatives. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) tells ABC News it plans to make a seven-figure investment in its Democracy Summer Program to bolster outreach for House Democrats in communities of color across the United States. The DCCC touts this push as the earliest investment of this scale in its history. The outreach investment will put 50 organizing directors and constituency organizing directors in key congressional districts to keep and expand the Democratic majority in the House. Constituency organizing directors will host voter registration drives, hold one-on-one meetings and plan community events to drum up support for House Democrats among Black, Latino, Native American and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters.
