Dissatisfied House Democrats who forced Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to open up leadership of the Democratic Caucus to rank-and-file members will be watching closely over the next two years to see if they succeeded in influencing the political arm of the party that’s designed to get Democrats elected to the House.

Their discontent about the party’s performance on Election Day ultimately focused on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the chairman of which Pelosi agreed to make an elected position instead of an appointed one. But while they absolved and ultimately re-elected last cycle’s chairman, New Mexico’s Ben Ray Lujan, members also laid some of the blame on staff and consultants.
