Senate Dems' campaign arm names new director
Coming off a year when Democrats lost their supermajority in the state Senate, the conference’s campaign wing is bringing in some new leadership.
The Democratic Senate Campaign Committee announced that it is promoting statewide field director Kaylee May to be the new executive director of the group. She replaces Alex Elmasri, who took a job with the Parkside Group.
The DSCC is also promoting Stephanie Watson to the position of chief operating officer. She was previously the director of operations and human resources at the committee.
Together with Chief Financial Officer Koren Frankfurt, who is retaining her position, the DSCC has for the first time an all-female staff leadership team. Deputy state Senate Majority Leader Michael Gianaris, the chair of the DSCC, said that he was “thrilled” to welcome the historic leadership. “Together, they exemplify the values and vision of our Committee as we continue to elect strong Democrats to the State Senate and deliver for New Yorkers,” Gianaris said in a statement. “Their leadership will ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges ahead and build on our record of success.”
