Half of Red to Blue candidates are Women, Nearly One-Third Under 40 Years Old
DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján today announced the addition of nine candidates to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program. Eighty-two candidates have now earned a spot on Red to Blue by surpassing aggressive goals for grassroots engagement, local support, campaign organization and fundraising. Beyond their demonstrated abilities to build a winning campaign infrastructure, these candidates have strong records of service and deep ties to the communities they aim to represent.
“This November we are going to elect a new wave of incredibly strong Democrats with deep records of service and connections to their community,” DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján. “I’m energized and inspired every day by the candidates that are leading the charge to take back the House.
