Additionally, Catherine Onnen, who served as Deputy Executive Director in 2019 will shift her focus exclusively to the Right Lines 2020 redistricting fundraising program and continuing the growth of RSLC’s personal donor network, while working with our great members across the country to expand their fundraising networks, as well.

“We have one objective here at the RSLC: winning,” said Austin Chambers, RSLC President. “I’m proud to announce that we’ve put together the diverse and capable team to do that in 2020 and we are ready to win up-and-down the ballot in every corner of the country. This is a team that I am excited to fight in the trenches with each and every day. Our political operation is fully prepared with a targeted strategy and a strong data advantage. Our finance team continues to break records — securing our best-ever 2019 fundraising haul and the largest January numbers in the organization’s history. Our communications department has the distinct capability to drive public debates and deliver RSLC’s powerful message to key audiences. And our research and policy teams are working around the clock to develop and sharpen the content needed to win in 2020. We’re continuing to build the largest and most sophisticated organization that the RSLC has ever seen. And this is what we call a damn good start. Let’s get to work.”
