WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced the addition of Brittany Pettersen (CO-07) to their Candidate Watch List.
"Brittany Pettersen has the experience, enthusiasm, and political coalition required to defend this must-win NewDem seat,” said NewDem Action Fund Chair Rep. Brad Schneider. “As a Colorado legislator, Brittany prioritized constituents over politics to pass Equal Pay for Equal Work legislation, invest in public schools, and ensure those struggling with substance abuse disorders have access to the care they need. She shares the NewDem commitment to working together to give everyone a level playing field.”
“The New Democrat Coalition is leading the way in Congress by working beyond partisanship to pass policies that make regular people's lives better today and build opportunities for tomorrow,” said Brittany Pettersen (CO-07). “I am honored to be added to the NewDem Action Fund Watch List as we work to ensure that Colorado’s 7th Congressional District stays blue this November.”
The New Democrat Coalition is the largest ideological caucus amongst House Democrats, counting more than forty percent of the caucus as members. The 97 NewDems represent a central core of the Democratic Party and advocate within Congress, and the party as a whole, for innovative approaches and constructive solutions to move America forward. Formed by Members of the New Democrat Coalition, the NewDem Action Fund helps re-elect House NewDems and elect new, like-minded leaders who can help develop a positive policy agenda and message.
