NC-13: The DCCC jump in to help Linda Coleman
Democratic congressional candidate Linda Coleman’s bid to oust three-term incumbent Republican Rep. George Holding in a Raleigh-area seat is getting a boost from national Democrats.
Coleman, who recent polls have shown in a statistical dead heat with Holding, has been added to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red to Blue” program, which gives candidates guidance, additional resources and candidate training. The program requires them to meet goals for fundraising and support.

In another encouraging sign for Democrats in North Carolina, the DCCC released a poll showing challenger Kathy Manning narrowly leading first-term incumbent Republican Rep. Ted Budd in the 13th district, which includes parts or all of Davidson, Davie, Guilford, Iredell and Rowan counties.
Coleman was on Capitol Hill recently with Rep. G.K. Butterfield. Butterfield, a Wilson Democrat, introduced Coleman to other Democratic members of Congress, some of whom offered to help Coleman’s campaign.
Coleman is a former Wake County commissioner and two-time Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor.
“From working on a farm during summers as a young woman to serving in the North Carolina General Assembly, Linda Coleman knows the value of hard work and the importance of creating opportunity for others,” DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján said in a statement. “Now Linda is running to make sure the people of North Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District have access to better healthcare, better education, and better jobs.”
