DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos issued the following statement on Carolyn Bourdeaux’s win in GA-07:
“Carolyn Bourdeaux is a policy expert, working mom and advocate for Georgians, and I’m proud of the part the DCCC played in bringing her to Congress as the first woman to ever represent Georgia’s 7th Congressional District and the first Democrat to win this seat in 26 years. During the Great Recession, Carolyn worked with both parties to balance Georgia’s budget and get the economy back on track. Now, Georgia families will be well-served with Representative-elect Bourdeaux on the job and fighting for them.”
The DCCC invested early in this race, putting Bourdeaux on its Red to Blue program in June and investing more than $4.6 million to help flip this seat blue.
