The 2005 Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairmanship election was held on February 12, 2005 to elect a chairperson to the DNC for a four-year term. Howard Dean was elected as the DNC chair, succeeding Terry McAuliffe.

Race

Following the 2004 U.S. presidential election, some party insiders wanted Terry McAuliffe to remain DNC chair. The netroots pushed for a different leader who would move the party away from the large donors.[1] Howard Dean announced his bid to become DNC chair.[2] Other candidates to declare included Tim Roemer,[3] Donnie Fowler,[4] Wellington Webb, Simon Rosenberg, Martin Frost, and David Leland.[5] Kate Michelman almost ran due to Roemer's anti-abortion stance, but she opted not to run.[6][7] Harold M. Ickes also considered running, but did not.[8]

Dean received the endorsement of the Association of State Democratic Chairs on January 31, leading Webb to drop out and endorse Dean.[9] On February 1, Dean announced the endorsements of 53 more members of the DNC, increasing his total number of DNC supporters to 102.[10] The AFL–CIO opted not to endorse a candidate.[11] Without the support of the labor movement, Frost dropped out.[12][13] Receiving little support, Leland dropped out as well.[14]

Rosenberg dropped out on February 4 and endorsed Dean.[15] Fowler dropped out on February 5 and endorsed Dean.[16] Roemer, Dean's last challenger, dropped out on February 7.[17] Dean was elected by a voice vote on February 12.[18]
