UPDATE: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced Tuesday that Linda Ketner has been added to its "Red to Blue" program.
The national Party's Red to Blue program highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and offers strong candidates even more financial, communications, and strategic support.
Ketner, who is running against Republican incumbent Henry Brown in South Carolina's First Congressional District, was selected to the competitive program as a result of her campaign's impressive fundraising and media efforts.
DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen said, "Linda Ketner is running a solid campaign and is committed to making things easier for middle class families in his district. With less than 21 days to make her case for change to voters, the Red to Blue program will give Linda the financial and structural edge to be even more competitive in November."
News of Ketner's addition to the DCCC's premier program came just hours after Politico highlighted Rep. Brown as one of several vulnerable GOP House incumbents facing unexpectedly tight races this year.
Her inclusion to the Red to Blue program will likely mean a fresh infusion of cash into her campaign coffers as she seeks to knock off the four-term GOP incumbent in the coming weeks.
It's going to be a tough race, but with the help of the national Party and continued fundraising success, there's a real chance that Linda Ketner just might beat the odds and turn this blood Red district Blue come November 4. |
