Judy Feder, the Democratic candidate challenging 13-term Republican incumbent Frank Wolf, announced she has hired a Democratic hard-hitter as her new campaign manager.
Scott Arceneaux, 35, of Bethesda, is taking on the Democratic race in the 10th District.
Arceneaux had been managing Doug Duncan’s campaign for Maryland governor before Duncan bowed out for health reasons. Prior to that, he was the executive director for the Louisiana Democratic Party, helping secure Democratic seats in the Republican South.
“Scott brings the experience and toughness to take us to victory in November,” said Feder in a statement.
After Duncan’s campaign abruptly ended in June, Arceneaux said he wanted to “get back involved with what I think is going to be a big Democratic year.”
The Feder campaign will ramp up after Labor Day, with plenty of money to pay for ads on radio and television, he said. Feder’s fundraising, which has surpassed Wolf’s by some $195,000 in June, will get still more from Democratic groups and congress members, he said.
