After Florida’s primary Tuesday, centrist Democrats have renewed hope they’ll be able to capture another rarity: a Democrat in Congress representing a Donald Trump-aligned district.
Welcome PAC — a national effort backing a select few swing-district Democrats, including Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Jared Golden and Mary Peltola — told NOTUS exclusively that it’s endorsing Whitney Fox against incumbent Rep. Anna Paulina Luna after her Democratic primary win on Tuesday in Florida’s 13th District.
The group is specifically targeting moderate Democrats who are running against hard-line conservatives in the House who are closely aligned with Trump, such as Reps. Scott Perry and Derrick Van Orden. While Welcome PAC has not pledged a specific investment for Fox’s race yet, last cycle the group spent more than $2 million on candidates.
