| Today, the DCCC announced that Marlene Galán-Woods has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Galán-Woods, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as she runs for Arizona’s First Congressional District.
“Arizonans already know Marlene Galán-Woods as a trusted voice who spent 20 years in broadcast journalism speaking truth to power, telling their stories, and advocating for hardworking people. She is the common-sense fighter Arizonans deserve to cut through the noise, push back against extremists, and get things done,” said DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene.
Marlene Galán-Woods is a former broadcast journalist and a single mother of five who’s called Arizona home for nearly four decades. A first generation Cuban-American, Marlene’s parents fled communist Cuba looking for a better life, allowing Marlene to pursue her dream as a trusted broadcast journalist and champion of the First Amendment. Marlene spent her 20-year journalism career sticking to facts and solutions — not partisan games and talking points. Now, Marlene is running for Congress to lower costs for working families, push back against extremists, and bring back common-sense leadership. Marlene will work with anyone — Democrat, Independent, Republican — to get things done for Arizona families.
Running in an open, R+1 seat that President Biden carried in 2020, Marlene is the straight-shooter Arizonans deserve to fight for them in Congress.
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. |
