House Dems target 16 GOP House seats

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm for House Democrats, on Monday named 16 candidates to its “Red To Blue” program, which identifies districts in which Democrats have a high chance of winning a seat from a Republican.

“There’s no question – these candidates are on the side of average Americans, and they’ve shown throughout their careers that they’ll work together to help make the middle class more financially secure and solve our problems – the exact antidote to the flawed priorities of this broken Republican Congress,” said Rep. Steve Israel, DCCC chairman.
