DCCC head Israel to resign after being offered a third term by Pelosi


I've been really clear with leader Pelosi that I would like to continue to have a seat at the leadership table, because it makes me more effective," he said. "I'll stay in Congress for as long as I believe I'm effective, but I'm not going to occupy a seat in Congress for the sake of having a seat in Congress."

Looking back on his tenure at the DCCC, he points out he won eight House seats for Democrats in 2012 and said he prevented losses Tuesday that "could have been a lot worse."
