Cahill replaces Jess O’Connell, who is departing after serving for only a year as DNC’s CEO.
Cahill will be in this interim role from mid-February through May as DNC searches for O’Connell’s permanent replacement.
Cahill previously served as national political director for the United Automobile Workers Union and as executive director of Emily’s List, a PAC that aims to help elect pro-choice Democratic women to office.
