AL-02: Talk About Overlooked

From the Hill:

Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright (D) has been on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) Red to Blue list for months, but it appears few people knew that.

The DCCC neglected to announce the addition of Bright to the list, but his name was among the 25 candidates already part of the program when the committee announced its new slate of Red to Blue candidates Wednesday.

Turns out that Bright’s been part of the Red to Blue program since February. Who knew?

  1. Given that he’s running in a R+13 district, I imagine he doesn’t really want to be trumpeting his support from a national Democratic organization.  I’m betting this wasn’t an accident.

  2. Why isn’t TX-10 on the Emerging Races list? Larry Joe Doherty is running a great campaign and the polls in TX-10 have been closer than those in TX-7, where Michael Skelly (another great candidate) has plenty of his own money to spend.

  3. New York 26   Jon Powers,   though this may just be because of the competetive nature of the primary.  

    California 26   Russ Warner

    Nebraska 2  Jim Esch

    Ohio 14  Bill O’Neill

    Texas 10  Larry Joe Doherty

    there are several more on my watch list as well, but I’m really surprised these guys didn’t make it.
