DCCC Promotes Romanoff in "Jumpstart" Program

The Hill's Alexandra Jaffe yesterday:

In a memo sent to donors and supporters on Thursday and obtained by The Hill, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Kelly Ward highlighted eight Democratic candidates named to the DCCC's "Jumpstart" program. 

"The newly-created Jumpstart program provides early financial, communications, operational and strategic support to help top-tier candidates get a head start in these highly-targeted races," she writes in the memo.

"The candidates named to this program are running to put problem-solving ahead of ideology and get results for the middle class families in their districts."

Former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff's 2014 bid against perennially endangered incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman figures prominently in that group of eight races being promoted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and the help they can bring early on with money and organizational expertise is considerable. Nothing unexpected in that, of course, but as Colorado politics slowly shifts focus from this year's epic state legislative session, and without any Republican candidates for the top of the ticket in Colorado next year as of this writing, CD-6 is where the action is.

Coffman, Davis, Denham, Fitzpatrick and Southerland are considered by House Republicans to be some of their most vulnerable incumbents heading into the cycle. [Pols emphasis]

Everybody knows it, folks.
