Mindful that the next election begins nearly as soon as the last one ends, Democrats announced this week that 10th District Rep. Brad Schneider, who represents the suburbs north of Chicago, will be one of the co-chairs of the DCCC’s Frontline program, designed to defend the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the House. While the specific districts and members will not be announced for several weeks, Underwood is likely to be included, considering that Democrats will target districts won by less than 5 percentage points and highlight those that flipped from red to blue. Twenty-four Democrats in the freshman class, the party said, were elected by 5 points or fewer.
