Adding to her duties as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s recruitment chair, U.S. Representative Allyson Schwartz will now manage the organization’s candidate services efforts as well, according to an announcement emailed by her campaign team Tuesday morning.

Schwartz is taking over the latter after U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida was named chair of the Democratic National Committee last month.

“As the national recruitment and candidate services chair, Allyson is working every day to ensure that Democrats recruit top candidates and build smart campaigns to win in districts across the country, the crucial building blocks to a path to retaking the House Majority in November 2012,” the email said.

In addition to the expansion of Schwartz’s duties, the DCCC has also announced that second term Congressman Jim Himes will lead the organization’s Frontline program, which dedicates resources to defending the party’s most vulnerable incumbents.  U.S. Rep. Mark Critz (PA-12) is the Keystone State’s lone Frontline member.

Reps. Donna Edwards of Maryland and Jared Polis of Colorado, meanwhile, will coordinate the DCCC’s Red to Blue effort in support of Democratic challengers running the GOP-held districts. 

“Reps. Allyson Schwartz, Jim Himes, Donna Edwards and Jared Polis are the perfect combination of drive, experience, political know-how and leadership savvy to make this the shortest Republican majority in history,” DCCC chair and New York Rep. Steve Israel said in a statement on Tuesday. “I’m thrilled they will be working with us this cycle to ensure Democratic members and candidates have the tools and resources they need to win.”
