Endorsement earns Griego attention, cash
A high-profile endorsement is earning Democratic U.S. House candidate Eric Griego lots of national attention today.
And Progressive Change Campaign Committee is already helping Griego raise money with a fundraising e-mail and web ads.
It’s the first endorsement from the progressive political action committee of the 2012 election cycle, which is why Griego is getting so much attention today. The group raised $3 million in the 2010 election cycle for candidates it was backing and plans to raise $3 million to $5 million this cycle.
Griego’s endorsement has been mentioned today by Roll Call, Talking Points Memo, the Washington Post, ABC, NBC and USA Today. As USA Today wrote, the endorsement is a “warning to conservative Dems.”
“Several conservative Blue Dogs are thinking about running in the primary against Eric – and they will be looking at his fundraising numbers on June 30 to decide whether to enter the race,” the group’s fundraising e-mail states.
