Signals DeMaio Is Top Recruit, Provides Additional Support
Washington, DC and San Diego Today, Carl DeMaio was upgraded to “contender” status in the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Young Guns program as DeMaio’s campaign continues its groundswell of support.
As described in this morning’s Politico Morning Score:
NRCC NAMES 17 ‘CONTENDERS’ TO YOUNG GUNS PROGRAM: The National Republican Congressional Committee is naming 17 House GOP candidates as “contenders” in its Young Guns program, singling them out as top recruits and giving them an additional level of support. “Contenders” are the second level of candidates for the Young Guns program: they are all, per a release, “on the path to developing a mature and competitive campaign operation” and are running for seats that look favorable for the GOP.
“I’m grateful to be receiving this strong support from so many San Diegans, which I believe reflects both my record of getting fiscal reforms done in San Diego and my more inclusive vision for the future as a ‘new generation Republican,'” DeMaio said.
DeMaio carried California’s 52nd Congressional District by a whopping 16% in his 2012 mayoral bid, whereas Scott Peters won the seat by less than 2 points.
