>Officials Network; U.S. Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) is Vice Chair of
>the DLC; U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) is Chairman of the DLC; and
>Wisconsin State Rep. Antonio Riley is Chairman of the DLC's State
>Legislative Advisory Board. Not Pictured: Detroit (MI) Mayor Kwame
>Kilpatrick is Chairman of the DLC's Local Elected Officials Network.
