The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is the Democratic Hill committee for the United States Senate, working to elect Democrats to that body. On November 15, 2004, Senator Charles Schumer was named to head the organization in preparation for 2006 and he continued in the role for the 2008 elections. Sen. Bob Menendez was appointed to succeed Schumer in 2008.

J.B. Poersch is the executive director of the committee.
