Progressives Go Around DCCC To Help Primary Challengers Of House Democrats

[mfcorey1]

WASHINGTON ― Progressive groups have been railing against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee over its new policy of cutting off business with vendors and consultants who work with candidates who are mounting primary challenges against incumbent House Democrats.

They just gained a notable ally: Guy Cecil, the former head of the DCCC’s sister group, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Cecil is backing Marie Newman, a 2020 primary challenger taking on Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.). The conservative Democrat only narrowly fended off Newman in last year’s primary.

This morning I made my first contribution to @Marie4Congress who is taking on anti-gay/anti-ACA/anti-choice "Democrat" Dan Lipinski in the Democratic primary. Join me and support Marie Newman by making a contribution today. http://www.marienewmanforcongress.com/

I’m running for Congress because we finally need to address “everybody’s everyday” to drive innovation and invest in our people, infrastructure...

Cecil, who is currently the chairman of Priorities USA, a progressive advocacy group, was the DSCC’s political director in the 2006 election cycle and its executive director in the 2012 cycle
