Congressman Chris Deluzio’s campaign is seeking to hire a creative, motivated finance director for the 2026 cycle. This individual will work closely with the campaign manager, Congressman Deluzio, and the rest of the campaign team. They will have the opportunity to not only play a key role in steering the campaign to another strong win this cycle, but will also be part of a larger effort to reorient the Democrat’s messaging and policies around the economy.
After two cycles as a DCCC Frontline/R2B candidate, Congressman Chris Deluzio has consistently overperformed in his district (+6 in 2022, +8 in 2024) and is running for reelection to continue representing PA-17. Western Pennsylvania is a critical region for Democrats to win, and the Deluzio campaign is uniquely focused on investing in and building strength here.
Congressman Deluzio has garnered national attention this year for pushing Democrats to focus on a message of economic populism: we need to revive the American dream, confront corruption, and take on corporate power’s stranglehold on the economy.
Chris is a Western Pennsylvania native, an Iraq War veteran, voting rights lawyer, union organizer, a husband and father of four.
