WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced the additions of Carl Marlinga (MI-10) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) to its Candidate Watch List. Both candidates are competing for open seats.
“Carl and Marie are working tirelessly to hold and flip key open seats, and they have the experience and determination to make it happen,” said NewDem Action Fund Chair Brad Schneider. “This November, NewDems will be the key to maintaining the Democratic House majority and our Candidate Watch List is a key indicator of the Democratic battlefield this Fall.”
“We need to re-industrialize the United States and bring manufacturing back to Michigan and our nation,” said Carl Marlinga (MI-10). “We can do this by marrying both the environmental movement and our need for new high-paying jobs. We do this by making the products of the future: the heat pumps, fast charging stations, wind turbines, tidal turbines, solar panels and all the devices that will both harness the energy that nature gives us but also produce a booming economy with high paying union jobs.”
"I own an independent auto repair shop with my husband. Small business owners like me don't have time for hyperpartisanship and clickbait politics - we need to know how to actually fix things,” said Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03). “I'm ready to flip this seat, defeat extremist Joe Kent, and keep our House majority working for normal Americans."
