Congressional Leadership Fund Issues Statement On TX-07 Democratic Primary

WASHINGTON – Following the results of the Democratic primary in Texas’ 7^th Congressional District, CLF Executive Director Corry Bliss issued the following statement congratulating progressive champion Laura Moser on her advancement to the runoff:

“Congratulations to progressive champion Laura Moser for making the runoff in the Democratic primary for Texas’ Seventh District. It is not often that I agree with DNC Chairman Tom Perez, but it’s confusing as to why the DCCC chose to attack progressive champion Laura Moser. She would be just like every other Democrat in Congress: pro-choice, anti-gun and a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s liberal agenda.”

On March 2, CLF released polling in TX-07 showing progressive champion Laura Moser surging in the Democratic primary despite attacks from the DCCC. Prior to DCCC’s attack on Moser, internal CLF polling showed Moser a distant also-ran.
