Red to Blue Program Now Has 33 Candidates
Majority of candidates are women
DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján today announced the fourth round of candidates on the DCCC’s highly competitive Red to Blue program. Thirty-three 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. The majority of the candidates on Red to Blue are women.
“All across the country, candidates with records of service are connecting with voters, earning their trust and running increasingly competitive races,” said DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján. “The candidates in this new round of Red to Blue are running grassroots campaigns bolstered by local endorsements and key indicators of support in their communities. We’re also incredibly proud of the diversity represented in this latest list –in terms of race, gender, geography and backgrounds – and I am confident these individuals will play a critical role in helping take back the House.”
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program 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.
