I recorded this video a couple of weeks ago before the DCCC announced our new slate of candidates! So lucky you – you get two of my Substack posts with our Red to Blue candidate announcements! Get pumped!
No, but seriously, we are very excited about our new cohort of Red to Blue additions, and I hope you’ll take a few minutes to learn more about these eight candidates, their backgrounds, and why they are going to CRUSH IT in November!
Let us know in the comments who you’re most excited to see us do a one-on-one interview with!

No incumbent Republican; this is an OPEN seat (Cook PVI: D+2)
Manny Rutinel, CO-08
As the son of a single mom who immigrated from Latin America and having grown up on Medicaid and SNAP, Manny Rutinel’s powerful story resonates with voters in CO-08, a working-class, 40% Latino district. Manny is ready to flip this seat.

Incumbent Republican: Cory Mills (Cook PVI: R+5)
Denise Powell, NE-02
Denise has built a clear track record protecting Nebraska’s public schools and the families they serve, as well as helping stop far-right extremists from passing abortion bans in the state. Denise has gone toe-to-toe with MAGA before and won.

No incumbent Republican; this is an OPEN seat (Cook PVI: D+3)

Incumbent Republican: Mike Lawler (Cook PVI: D+1)
