Longoria, Emanuel among Obama '12 campaign chairmen

Actress Eva Longoria and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel are among the new campaign chairmen for President Obama's reelection bid. 

The Obama campaign announced the new chairmen on Wednesday. They also include former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), Caroline Kennedy and actor Kal Penn, who served in the Obama administration. 

The campaign had previously named former Chief of Staff Bill Daley, Emanuel's successor as Obama's chief of staff, as a campaign chairman. 

Many of the 30-some chairmen named are high-profile members of Illinois's political community. They include Emanuel and Penny Pritzker, a longtime backer and early fundraiser for Obama; Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.); and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). 

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) was also named a co-chairman. Villaraigosa was recently named chairman of the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
