DCCC STATEMENT ON RED TO BLUE CANDIDATES’ JERSEY SWEEP
Addressing the DCCC’s New Jersey Red to Blue candidates’ exceptional performance in tonight’s New Jersey primary, DCCC Spokesman Evan Lukaske released the following statement:
“From veteran Mikie Sherrill to national security officials Tom Malinowski and Andy Kim to state Senator Jeff Van Drew, the DCCC’s slate of impressive candidates decisively won their primaries and are in excellent positions to win this fall. New Jersey voters are disgusted with a Republican agenda that hurts the Garden State, and are ready for change and new leadership. With unprecedented grassroots energy and our strong and dynamic candidates, New Jersey will play a significant role in the DCCC’s effort to take back the House.”
