| Today, the DCCC announced that Mitchell Berman has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Mitchell, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for Wisconsin’s First District.
“While Bryan Steil has only ever seen the inside of a boardroom or a ballroom, Mitchell Berman shows up for Wisconsin, working nights as an ER nurse. Mitchell knows what matters to families like his own and that’s who he fights for: not the special interests or billionaire donors, but the people of Wisconsin left behind by politicians like Steil. Mitchell will fight for good health care, lower costs, and an economy that works for regular people – and after years of Steil putting the billionaires first, Wisconsin is ready for change,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.
Mitchell Berman is an emergency room nurse, father, and lifelong Wisconsinite who has dedicated his career to taking care of his community. Raised in a one-stoplight town, Mitchell was brought up on the rural values that corrupt career politicians have long forgotten. Now, Mitchell is running to fight for those same values by taking on big corporations, protecting affordable health care, and lowering costs for Wisconsin families. Mitchell is on strong footing to win in this R+2 district heading into Election Day. While Bryan Steil got rich off of sending American jobs overseas, Mitchell is a union man who will put Wisconsinites, never billionaires, first.
REMINDER: Earlier this year, Supreme Court Justice Chris Taylor carried Wisconsin’s First District by 15 points and won four out of the five counties in the district. A recent poll found this race neck-and-neck between Mitchell and Steil, another indication this race is a jump ball.
Momentum is on Mitchell’s side in this top flip opportunity headed into November.
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. |
