Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline will again lead House Democrats’ messaging arm next year, after being elected Thursday by acclamation to a newly created top position at the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee.

Cicilline will be the new DPCC chair, ranking higher than three DPCC co-chairs the Democratic Caucus also elected Thursday. He had served as one of the three co-chairs for the 2018 cycle.

Reps. Ted Lieu of California, Debbie Dingell of Michigan and Matt Cartwright of Pennsylvania were elected as the three new co-chairs. Lieu had 161 votes, while Dingell had 144 and Cartwright had 119.

Three other candidates who ran for the position but fell short were Pennsylvania Rep.-elect Chrissy Houlahan with 107 votes, New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 90 votes and California Rep. John Garamendi with 44 votes.

It’s not yet clear how the DPCC chair’s role will differ from that of the co-chairs.
