DCCC Communications Director Courtney Rice:
“It’s clear the DCCC’s strategic investments are having a meaningful impact across the battleground, shifting the midterm map in Democrats’ favor and moving our candidates closer to victory. Democrats are fighting to lower costs and root out corruption in Washington, and as voters cast their ballots, they’re hearing that message loud and clear.”
