The national group dedicated to getting Democrats elected to the House has put Nebraska's Kara Eastman on its "red to blue" list, giving her access to donations and other national support.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Eastman earned a spot on the list by "surpassing aggressive goals for grassroots engagement, local support, campaign organization and fundraising."

The DCCC had previously put a different Nebraska 2nd District Democrat on the list — former congressman Brad Ashford, who lost in the May primary to Eastman.

Eastman has embraced the progressive wing of the Democratic party with support for issues such as a single-payer health system that supporters have dubbed "Medicare for All."
