WASHINGTON — Rep. Ann McLane Kuster has been on the front lines of tight races, and over and over again she’s come out victorious.
The New Hampshire Democrat, now in her sixth term in the House, will use that experience in her new role this Congress as chair of the New Democrat Coalition, a group of nearly 100 moderate Democrats focused on finding bipartisan solutions.
“I’m a Frontline chair of New Dems,” Kuster told Heard on the Hill during a recent sit-down in her Rayburn office, referring to a program that supports Democratic incumbents in competitive districts. “I understand what their lives are like — how hard you have to work campaigning and raising the resources and juggling everything in your life.”
