DCCC Announces 26 Races to Watch in 2010
Reflecting Democrats’ efforts to stay on offense this cycle, today the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is announcing several races to watch this year. In each of these races, Democratic candidates have generated excitement in their districts for their campaigns to create jobs and help fix the economic mess that the Republicans created.
“These strong candidates are getting the attention of folks back home because of their willingness to be independent voices for their districts and prevent a return to the same failed Bush policies that drove America into an economic ditch,” said Jon Vogel of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “As these strong candidates continue building excitement for their campaigns to create jobs and help middle class families back home, the DCCC will help them become even more competitive in November.”
