Addition to Battle-Tested Red to Blue Program Highlights Shapiro’s Strong Campaign
DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján today announced that David Shapiro has earned a spot on the DCCC’s highly competitive Red to Blue program.
Shapiro has worked hard in his community to earn a spot on Red to Blue by surpassing aggressive goals for grassroots engagement, local support, campaign organization, and fundraising. Beyond his demonstrated abilities to build a winning campaign infrastructure, Shapiro has deep roots in the district and a persuasive message that will help him win in November.
“A lifelong fighter for people in his community who have been hurt by predatory insurance companies and big corporations, David Shapiro’s experience helping people find common ground and solve problems shows that he’s exactly the kind of leader Washington needs right now,” said DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján. “Working and retired people in Central Florida can count on David to put them first, unlike Republicans who voted to raise middle class families’ taxes and put Social Security and Medicare at risk.”
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. It is not an endorsement.
In 2018, the DCCC will make more targeted and frequent additions to the Red to Blue program than in previous election cycles.
