Yesterday, the Democratic National Committee announced members of the 2024 Democratic National Convention leadership team, including Minyon Moore as Chair and Alex Hornbrook as Executive Director of the convention. Other additions to the convention leadership team include Louisa Terrell, who will serve as a Senior Advisor to both the convention and the Biden-Harris campaign, and DNC Deputy Executive Director Roger Lau, who, in addition to his current duties, will also serve as a Senior Advisor to the Biden Victory Fund, where he will expand his political portfolio, including assisting with convention planning and execution.
