Ex-congressman launching PAC to defend Dem seats in 2020
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 06/12/19 07:46 AM EDT
Former Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) on Wednesday announced the launch of a new PAC aimed at defending Democratic seats in 2020.
Hold the House PAC will be focused on protecting the seven House seats flipped by the Red to Blue California PAC, which was chaired by Honda, in the 2018 midterms, in addition to 33 other seats Democrats picked up in the midterms.
In addition to the PAC, Honda also announced the launch of the Hold the House Frontline Fund, which is a joint fundraising committee, which will support members of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Frontline Program, aimed at protecting vulnerable Democratic seats.
Thirty-seven members of the Frontline Program have signed on to the joint fundraising committee, including Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.), Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.), Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.), and Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.).
