The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Monday named a dozen challengers running in Republican-held districts to its inaugural list of candidates slated to receive extra attention and resources.
The “Red to Blue” list provides a glimpse into how Democrats view the House battleground and the candidates the party believes will resonate with voters in the runup to the midterm elections.
The Democrats on the program’s roster are bound by a desire “to fight for hardworking families in their districts — not the billionaires bankrolling Republicans’ corrupt and divisive machine,’’ DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene of Washington said in a statement. “They are laser-focused on lowering costs, saving health care, and putting people first.”
