The campaign arm for House Democrats is spending tens of thousands of dollars to promote a pro-life Catholic candidate in Texas, despite the party’s stance supporting the wide availability of abortion.
Dan Sanchez, a Democratic candidate running in a special election for Texas’ 34th District on June 14, is now backed by a $100,000 coordinated spend for his campaign from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the committee devoted to electing Democrats to the House. The move was unveiled over the weekend as ads began circulating, according to Patrick Svitek, a political correspondent for The Texas Tribune.
