The official House Democratic campaign arm added eight new seats to its target list of battleground seats to flip and defend ahead of the midterm elections, marking the first such expansion of this cycle.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) updated its “Red to Blue” program Monday, adding new seats from coast to coast and candidates ranging from Grammy Award winners to sheriffs and firefighters.
“As the American people reject House Republicans’ disastrous, cost-spiking agenda, House Democrats have the momentum to take back the majority,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said in a statement.
“These latest additions to our Red to Blue program represent the strength of our people-first message and the broad appeal of our top-tier candidates,” DelBene added. “These candidates will win because they are authentic, independent-minded leaders who are rooted in their communities.”
Democrats added to the “Red to Blue” program, which was first unveiled in February, include: Marlene Galan-Woods (Ariz.-1), Jasmeet Bains (Calif.-22), Jessica Killin (Col-5), Joe Baldacci (Maine-2), Bob Harvie (Pa.-1), Bob Brooks (Pa.-07), Bobby Pulido (Texas-15), and Johnny Garcia (Texas-35).
