Ethan Smith Joins HDCC as Executive Director

Harrisburg, PA - This week, the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee will welcome a new Executive Director, Ethan Smith. Smith, who hails from Pittsburgh and was most recently the Deputy Campaign Manager for the successful campaign of Allegheny County Executive-elect Rich Fitzgerald, will be an important addition to Democratic efforts across Pennsylvania going into the 2012 election cycle.

"I am excited to welcome Ethan Smith to the HDCC team and look forward to working together to fight for Democratic victories in the House," said State Representative Brendan Boyle, the Chairman of the HDCC. "Coming off of a decisive win in Allegheny County, I know that Ethan has the leadership and skill to direct the HDCC in this all-important election year for House Democrats. Ethan is a major addition to the HDCC and we are grateful to have him join us."

"This year is a critical year for Democrats in the Pennsylvania House, and I am proud to be joining the HDCC in those efforts," said HDCC Executive Director Ethan Smith. "I look forward to working with Rep. Boyle and the entire HDCC team to promote Democratic wins in the House this fall. With Democrats working closely together at all levels in Pennsylvania, we will be able to elect Democrats who will fight for a better future for all Pennsylvanians."

 "The HDCC has gained a great asset with Ethan Smith joining as the new Executive Director," said Pennsylvania Democratic Party Executive Director Kevin Washo. "Smith's leadership will guide the HDCC in the important upcoming elections, and I look forward to working closely with him as all Democrats come together in 2012 to beat Republicans who have put partisanship and special interests before the middle class and elect Democrats who will put the interests of Pennsylvanians first."
