Eric Stewart wins Democrat support to beat Scott DesJarlais

NASHVILLE — The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today added Democrat Eric Stewart to its “Red to Blue” category, indicating the organization will devote resources to his battle with Republican Congressman Scott DesJarlais.

Stewart announced the move today in an email to supporters, saying he has “more good news” after his campaign released an internal poll that Stewart says shows him in a “dead heat” with DesJarlais, a Jasper physician.

“Our race for Congress has just been added to the DCCC's ‘Red to Blue,’ which lists the top campaigns across the country,” Stewart says in the email, which also includes this fundraising appeal: “We need your help in this race, today!”
