Trivedi added to DCCC program

Add Manan Trivedi to the list of Democrats that the party thinks can capture Republican-held seats.

Trivedi, the Reading doctor and candidate in the 6th Congressional District, was added on Monday to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red to Blue” program. The program serves as the DCCC’s hub for promoting and helping candidates competing in Republican-controlled districts (the program also encompasses the committee’s open-seat efforts).

Trivedi, who faces Congressman Jim Gerlach (R-6), was one of 11 candidates added to the program Monday. The race is currently No. 4 on the pa2010.com Congressional Power Rankings.

“These candidates being named to our Red to Blue Program are running strong campaigns and demonstrating their commitment to being independent leaders who will make job creation back home their top priority,” Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who chairs to the DCCC, said in a statement. “The Red to Blue Program will give these strong candidates the financial and structural edge they need to win in November and become strong advocates in Congress for middle class families back in their districts.”
