DCCC Names Congressman Travis Childers to Frontline Program
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
announced today that Congressman Travis Childers (MS-01) is the newest Member of
the DCCC Frontline Program, a program that assists Democratic Members of
Congress who are running in the toughest districts around the country.
“Congressman Travis Childers has hit the ground running
to serve the people of
The Frontline
Program
The Frontline Program is a partnership between the DCCC
and Members which lays the ground work for the 2008 cycle by supporting and
expanding their fundraising and outreach operations. This competitive program
requires members to meet aggressive fundraising goals, accelerate volunteer and
recruitment efforts, and increase on-line networking.
Last cycle, the Frontline Program’s early success helped
make half of the most competitive Democratic seats safe by the fall of 2006,
allowing the DCCC to expand its offensive opportunities. Democrats have an
outstanding record of defending tough seats with battle tested incumbents and
have successfully protected 95 percent of their incumbents since 2002.
