Today, the DCCC announced that Jevin Hodge (AZ-01) has been added to its competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, which arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue to develop strong campaigns and win in November.
Jevin Hodge is a business and community leader with a proven record of getting results for Arizona families, and is running to flip Arizona’s 1st Congressional District from Red to Blue. He leads the longest-running Head Start program in Arizona, where he has dedicated his work to ensuring the next generation of Arizona students and their families have the support they need to thrive. Now, he’s taking on corrupt GOP incumbent David Schweikert, whose ethics violations for misusing campaign and taxpayer funds continue to haunt him on the campaign trail.
Hodge has proven himself a formidable campaigner and outraised David Schweikert the last two quarters in a row. As Hodge builds up his warchest for the general election, Schweikert has been burning through his, using donor money to pay off his FEC fines and attempt to survive his bruising primary.
DCCC Spokesperson Monica Robinson
“Jevin Hodge is a champion for working families who Arizonans can count on to fight for a stronger economy, good-paying jobs, affordable health care, and the integrity of our vote and our democracy. In sharp contrast, David Schweikert has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can’t be trusted to follow the law. Arizonans deserve so much better than a corrupt politician who grifts his campaign donors and exploits his office in Congress for personal gain. The DCCC is proud to back Jevin Hodge, and we look forward to working alongside him from now until November.”
