The DCCC Lists the Rob Zerban Campaign as an Emerging Race
KENOSHA – Yesterday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, (DCCC), announced its list of targeted races. These are the races that will help Democrats retake the House of Representatives and end the gridlock in Washington.
The DCCC selected Rob Zerban as one of twelve Emerging Races. The DCCC explained that, "Emerging Races highlights candidates and districts that are making themselves competitive by running smart campaigns." This determination is based on the campaign's ability to meet infrastructure and organizational goals and by making the case to voters that Rob Zerban is a problem-solver who will protect the middle class when he is elected to Congress.
Rob Zerban raised over $500,000 in 2011 and received national attention for being accessible to voters. Rob Zerban recently helped force Paul Ryan to back down from controversial legislation to censor free speech online. Earlier in the year, Rob Zerban led a national protest to Paul Ryan's efforts to privatize Medicare and Social Security.
Rob Zerban released the following statement about this announcement:
"I am proud to receive the support of the DCCC. Here in Wisconsin, we have seen what we can achieve when we work together. Because of our hard work in 2011, more help is coming in to this district. We are seeing progressives from across the country join our fight here in southeastern Wisconsin to get rid of Paul Ryan because his ideas, and his policies, hurt this entire nation. Paul Ryan will not get a free pass this year despite his lobbyist money and status as a leading party boss. After 14 years of enriching himself and his campaign at the expense of Wisconsin's economy and middle class families, he will finally be held accountable. I look forward to demonstrating to Wisconsin how much we can accomplish in Congress when we focus on the middle class, take off the blinders of special interest money, and work together to get results."
