The group in charge of electing House Democrats added eight candidates to a priority list on Monday, signaling that the party is putting its money and staff support behind them in races that could help decide which party controls the U.S. House next year.
The list, dubbed the “Red to Blue” list, is run by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats. Candidates who make the list get fundraising help, training, and staff resources from the national organization. The committee said candidates earn a place by hitting goals for fundraising and local organizing.
