Addition to Proven Program Boosts McGrath’s Strong Campaign
DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján today announced that former Marine Corps fighter pilot and KY-06 Democratic nominee Amy McGrath has earned a spot on the DCCC’s highly competitive Red to Blue program.
Amy McGrath has worked hard in Kentucky to earn a spot on Red to Blue by surpassing aggressive goals for grassroots engagement, local support, campaign organization and fundraising. Beyond her demonstrated abilities to build a winning campaign infrastructure, McGrath has deep roots in Kentucky and a persuasive message that helped drive her to victory in a competitive Democratic primary.
“Amy McGrath’s inspiring record of service and powerful message of putting her country and constituents first has resonated in every corner of this district and beyond,” DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján. “Her grassroots campaign is mobilizing voters and bringing new supporters into the fold every day, and is primed to compete for every vote in this district. No one will work harder to flip this district than Amy – she is ready to win and bring an independent voice to fight for Kentucky in Congress.”
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested program at the DCCC that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue to run strong campaigns. Additionally, the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, and more.
In 2018, the DCCC will make more targeted and frequent additions to the Red to Blue program than in previous election cycles.
