Three veterans launched House campaigns on Monday to unseat three Republican incumbents in the 2018 midterm elections.
Retired Navy SEAL Josh Butner (D) launched his campaign to unseat Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.). Butner, who is currently a member of a local Board of Education, is the fourth Democrat to announce a run against Hunter.
[…] The House Ethics Committee announced late last month that the Justice Department is investigating Hunter, who has served in Congress since 2009.
[…] Air Force veteran and business executive Chrissy Houlahan (D) announced she is running against Rep. Ryan Costello (R-Pa.). Hillary Clinton carried Costello’s district by less than a point.
Costello has represented his GOP-leaning district since 2015. Democrats are already targeting Costello for his vote to advance the House GOP’s bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare from the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
[…] Former Army Ranger Jason Crow (D) launched a bid against Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.). Clinton carried Coffman’s district by nearly 9 points and the Colorado Republican has been a top Democratic target for several cycles.
Crow served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and served as a member of the Colorado Board of Veterans Affairs.
