The NewDem Action Fund has endorsed 13 of the 17 Candidates in the first slate of challengers
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced their first slate of 17 candidates to take on Republicans in competitive districts as part of their "red-to-blue" program. NewDem Action Fund endorsed candidates make up the vast majority of races in this program, with 13 of our endorsed candidates represented.
“There’s no doubt NewDem Action Fund Members and endorsed candidates will be key to taking back the House this year,” said New Democrat Coalition Chair Annie Kuster (NH-02). “Each of our red-to-blue candidates have the determination, resources, and support necessary to run competitive campaigns and ultimately flip these seats in November. Once again, NewDems will lead the way in helping Democrats retake the House - we are the majority makers.”
