Whitesides will flip CA-27 blue and help take back the House majority
Today, the DCCC announced that George Whitesides has been added to the first round of its highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Whitesides, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for California’s 27th Congressional District.
“A proven job creator and pragmatic consensus builder, George Whitesides is exactly the type of leader that hardworking families in the Antelope Valley, the San Fernando Valley, and Santa Clarita deserve. Whitesides has the experience and track record to bring people together and replace Mike Garcia’s record of self-service and extremism in Congress,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.
George Whitesides is a job creator who understands the needs of the Antelope Valley, the San Fernando Valley, and Santa Clarita. Over the past 20 years, George served as Chief of Staff for NASA during the Obama administration, was the first CEO of Virgin Galactic, where he created hundreds of good-paying jobs in the Antelope Valley, and supported front-line responders through his founding of Megafire Action, an organization dedicated to solving our nation’s wildfire crisis. His record stands in stark contrast to Mike Garcia’s, a MAGA Republican who has consistently failed to prioritize the interests and needs of communities in this Democratic-leaning district.
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 building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, and more.
