MEET TARA DURANT: THE NRCC’S NEWEST RECRUITMENT FAILURE

Flawed VA-07 candidate can’t even figure out how to tweet

Tara Durant is off to a tough start in her floundering campaign for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District.

Yesterday, Durant tweeted out an endorsement using language that was clearly meant to be posted by the endorser. The gaffe prompted a reporter to comment: “somebody goofed here.”

The endorsement from a Medicaid-cutting House Republican does beg the question from their presumptive nominee: Does Tara Durant support the Big, Ugly Bill that made historic cuts to Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires?

Virginians deserve to know where Tara Durant stands.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Flawed Republican recruit Tara Durant is off to a brutal start in her campaign for Congress. Her social media gaffe puts her incompetence on full display, but what’s worse is that she is proud to have the endorsement of a member of Congress who voted to gut Medicaid. Republicans know that Durant would be nothing more than a rubber-stamp for their toxic agenda that strips health care from Virginians.”
