Two from Pa. heading ‘Red to Blue’
Two House Democrats from the Keystone State are helping to head up the party’s campaign efforts at capturing Republican-held seats.
Congressman Patrick Murphy (D-8) and Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz (D-13) were among four co-chairs of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red to Blue” program announced Monday. In addition to aiding challengers, the program also assists in open-seat races.
Congresswoman Donna Edwards (D-Md.) and Congressman Bruce Braley (D-Ia.) are also co-chairing the program.
“The DCCC is focused on not only protecting our threatened incumbents, but also staying aggressively on offense,” Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the DCCC chair, said in a statement. “The talented leadership of our battle-tested Red to Blue chairs Bruce Braley, Allyson Schwartz, Patrick Murphy, and Donna Edwards will ensure Democratic candidates have the infrastructure and support they need to be successful.”

It will be funny that Murphy is on this committee and gets voted out. It would be the perfect end to a great year. Schwartz is safe, but I think Murphy is not going to do so well in the fall. Maybe they should rethink their committee members.

Agree with Jeff, Murphy is done, and good, since he turned out to be a standard, non effective, politician.
