GOP PAC opens Spokane office to save McMorris Rodgers
The "SuperPAC" of House Speaker Paul Ryan, in a tacit admission that even solid Republican districts are in danger, is setting up a field office in Spokane to boost seven-term GOP Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers.
A member of the House Republican Leadership, McMorris Rodgers has supported President Trump, been an outspoken opponent of Obamacare and boosted Republicans' recently passed tax reform package.
She is facing a formidable challenger in Democrat Lisa Brown. Brown served until recently as chancellor of Washington State University-Spokane, and is a former majority leader in the Washington State Senate.
Voicing delight that Ryan's forces are moving in to rescue McMorris Rodgers, Brown tweeted: "Help us counter the effects of this outside dark money by joining us."
The Congressional Leadership Fund, Ryan's political committee, is part of a planned $100 million campaign to hold onto the Republican Party's 24-seat majority against an anticipated Democratic "wave" in the November elections.

The Ryan "superPAC" has set up field offices in five California districts, defending three endangered Pennsylvania Republicans, and has even set up shop in Republican Kansas.
