Congressman Jim Langevin has named a Democrat familiar in Rhode Island and national political circles as his chief campaign fundraiser for 2008.

The Democrat, a Warwick resident, announced last week that Donald R. Sweitzer, senior vice president at GTECH, will serve as finance chairman of the 2008 Langevin for Congress Committee. Sweitzer, who also lives in Warwick, is a former finance director of the Democratic National Committee. He also served as DNC political director during Bill Clinton’s first term as president.

“As a well-respected leader of one of Rhode Island’s top employers and a veteran of local and national politics, Don offers my campaign a tremendous amount of experience,” Langevin said in a statement.
