Steve Bullock Elected Chairman of DGA

Steve Bullock, the governor of Montana since 2013, and a Claremont McKenna College (CMC woo) alumni,  was elected chairman of the Democratic Governor's Association just a few days ago.  He has just succeeded Governor of Vermont, Peter Shumlin. As this election year was not a good year across the charts for the Democrats (lost multiple gubernational elections including Maryland, Illinois, and Massachusetts), Bullock will be responsible for recruit candidates for upcoming elections and grow the reputation of the Democratic party. During his one year term as chairman, Bullock has vowed to, "to recruit candidates committed to those principles and to ensure that we win in red, purple, and blue states from coast to coast." Usually a chairman serves for two years, but Bullock has chosen to limit his term for only one, so that he can focus on his re-election bid in 2016.
