PA-01: DCCC Adds Finello to Red to Blue Program

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is ready to invest in this Philadelphia suburban district.

According to a release on Thursday morning, the DCCC added Christina Finello to its “Red to Blue” program. The Ivyland Borough Councilwoman, who is the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District, was added to the DCCC’s program due to her “surpassing aggressive goals for grassroots engagement, local support, campaign organization, and fundraising,” plus having a “strong record of service, an authentic message that connects with voters in her district, and deep ties to the communities she aims to serve,” according to a release.

“As a fifth-generation Pennsylvanian, Christina Finello knows the issues her neighbors face every day – like unaffordable health care and how tough it is to find good-paying jobs – because she’s lived them herself. That’s why, in Congress, she’ll make sure that all working people in her district come first,” said DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos. “With her deep roots in Lower Bucks County and a district trending rapidly toward Democrats, momentum is on Christina’s side. I look forward to welcoming her to Congress next year where I know she’ll be a champion for all people in Bucks and Montgomery counties.”

Finello, who was backed by the Bucks County Democratic Party in the primary, coasted to the nomination after defeating Skylar Hurwitz by 55 points in the June primary.

She faces Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Bucks) for the seat in the fall.
