PA-08, PA-10: DCCC Adds Cognetti, Stelson to "Red To Blue" Program

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced it has selected 12 candidates, including Paige Cognetti and Janelle Stelson for its highly-competitive ‘Red to Blue” program.

“House Democrats are on offense and poised to take back the majority, thanks in large part to the strength of our candidates,” said DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene. “The candidates named to this first round of our Red to Blue program are united by their desire to fight for hardworking families in their districts — not the billionaires bankrolling Republicans’ corrupt and divisive machine. They are laser-focused on lowering costs, saving health care, and putting people first, as opposed to their Republican opponents who have abandoned everyday Americans so they can give handouts to the privileged and the elite.”

The DCCC’s program arms what it calls top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, fundraising support, and more.

Cognetti, the mayor of Scranton, is challenging freshman congressman Rob Bresnahan in the 8th Congressional District, while Stelson, a former broadcast journalist, is looking to unseat Scott Perry in the 10th Congressional District.
