WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced the addition of Christy Smith (CA-27) and Robert Zimmerman (NY-03) to its Candidate Watch List. Robert Zimmerman is competing for New York’s Third Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Tom Suozzi, and Christy Smith is competing against Republican Rep. Mike Garcia in order to flip California’s 27th District.
“NewDems have always been laser-focused on protecting our House majority in order to keep making progress for the American people,” said New Dem Action Fund Chair Brad Schneider. “Christy and Robert are committed to finding commonsense solutions to our nation’s most pressing challenges. In Congress, they will work tirelessly to deliver for their communities.”
The NewDem Action Fund’s “Candidate Watch List” represents early-stage support for candidates running for Congress.
"Our Majority in the House is on the line and CA-27 is a crucial part of the road to maintain it,” said Christy Smith (CA-27). “I am proud to be added to the NewDem Action Fund Watch List to push for pro-growth policies that lift up opportunity for all. We will defeat an extremist MAGA Republican who doesn't reflect the values of our district. In the State Legislature, I focused on common sense solutions to deliver for my constituents and I will take that same approach in Washington."
"I am proud to be added to the NewDem Action Fund Watch List,” said Robert Zimmerman (NY-03). “Together we will work to preserve the House majority by focusing on the key issues facing our shared communities. I look forward to working with the NewDem Action Fund to fight back against extremism in all its forms, combat the effects of climate change, safeguard our democracy and modernize our nation's infrastructure. There is much work to be done, and with the support of the NewDem Action Fund, I know we will be up for that challenge."
