Rutinel will flip CO-08 blue and help take back the House majority
Today, the DCCC announced that Manny Rutinel has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Rutinel, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District.
“The son of an immigrant single mom, Manny Rutinel understands the challenges working Coloradans face. Manny is a champion for families and is laser-focused on lowering costs, growing our economy, and making it easier for Coloradans to not just get by, but get ahead. Unlike Gabe Evans, Manny will always put Colorado families first,” said DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene.
Manny Rutinel understands the challenges working Coloradans are facing. As a teen, Manny worked at McDonald’s, tutored kids, and even sold his blood plasma to help pay the bills after the bank foreclosed on his family home. And after putting himself through college, Manny joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and went on to graduate from Yale Law School. Manny is running for Congress to fight for working families, create good jobs, and improve Coloradans’ health care. The son of a single mom who immigrated from Latin America, Manny’s powerful story resonates with CO-08, an R+0, working class, 40% Latino district that is souring on Gabe Evans and Donald Trump.
Rated a toss-up by both Cook Political and Inside Elections, CO-08 is one of the most competitive House seats in the country.
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, fundraising support, and more. |
