The Red to Blue program highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and offers them financial, communications, and strategic support.  The program introduces Democratic supporters to new, competitive candidates in order to help expand the fundraising base for their campaigns.

"The constituents of Texas' 10th Congressional District are demanding an end to McCaul's pay-for-play style of politics, and they deserve an independent leader who will fight for them in Washington," said Doherty. "I am proud to have the support of the DCCC to give a voice back to those who are shouldering the burden of a failed energy policy, a failed foreign policy and a government that has been asleep at the wheel while Wall Street bankrupted Main Street."

From DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen.

"Larry Joe Doherty is running a solid campaign and is committed to making things easier for middle class families in their districts," said DCCC Chairman Rep. Chris Van Hollen. "With less than 21 days to make his case for change to voters, the Red to Blue program will give Larry Joe the financial and structural edge to be even more competitive in November."
