Tony Vargas Added to DCCC’s ‘Red to Blue’ Program In First Round

Today, the DCCC added Tony Vargas to the first round of the ‘Red to Blue’ program – signaling that this race will once again be one of the most competitive in the country. Red to Blue signifies top-tier campaigns that are building the infrastructure to win and help take back the House majority.

“Our campaign is seeing more momentum and grassroots support than ever before; I hear from Nebraskans every single day that they’re fed up with self-interested, phony politicians like Don Bacon who get nothing done,” said Tony Vargas.

“We’re already putting in the hard work to get our message out to voters and this recognition from the DCCC is a reflection of the strength of this campaign. This will no doubt be one of the closest races in the country again but with the support we’re seeing, we know we can win.”

“Nebraskans are ready for a leader who’s focused on delivering for them – not Don Bacon whose top priority is his own political survival,” said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene. “Tony Vargas has a proven record of fighting for working families: securing tax cuts, creating jobs, and protecting reproductive freedom. Tony will continue to stand up for hardworking Nebraskans when he flips this seat in November.”

The Vargas campaign has been building a strong operation, including securing key endorsements, raising significant resources, and starting an organizing program earlier than ever before. Tony raised over $1.4 million in 2023, including over $250,000 in the first 24 hours and 75% coming from Nebraskans. The campaign has already knocked on tens of thousands of doors and has been endorsed by AFSCME, IBEW Local 22, Communication Workers of America, BCTGM Local 50g, and dozens of local and state leaders.
