DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján today announced the addition of Ruben Kihuen (NV-04) to the Red to Blue Program. This Red to Blue designation indicates that Kihuen will run a top-notch campaign through Election Day, putting him in an excellent position to join the Democratic caucus. Beyond promising campaign strengths, Kihuen has demonstrated the ability to fight on behalf of hardworking people in his district, keep them safe, and make sure that the economy is working for everyone.
“Ruben Kihuen has dedicated his career to giving everyone the same opportunities he and his immigrant family were given in Nevada. Ruben will take that spirit to Congress to ensure every family gets a fair shot. Ruben knows how to get real results and I have full confidence he will run a strong campaign to unseat Congressman Cresent Hardy, who couldn’t be more wrong for the people of Nevada’s 4th Congressional District,” said Chairman Ben Ray Luján.
