(The DCCC's been interested in this race for quite some time ... it is, however, the first public example of their interest. This is a DEMOCRATIC district, y'all ... see the section on LA-07 in this diary - promoted by ryan)
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced today that Don Cravins Jr. (LA-07) has been added to Emerging Races because he is running a strong campaign that is generating excitement in his district.
"In the short time that Don Cravins has been in the race, he's put together a solid campaign and shown that he is committed to making things easier for middle class families in Southwest Louisiana," said DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen.
Cravins is the 21st candidate named to the DCCC's Emerging Races program. In each of these races, Democratic candidates have generated excitement in their districts for their campaigns for change. As these campaigns continue to develop and demonstrate increasing strength, candidates will have an opportunity to qualify for the DCCC's Red to Blue program.
