March 10, 2010
Palm Springs, CA – Steve Pougnet’s campaign announced today that they have earned a spot on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) highly competitive Red to Blue program by surpassing demanding fundraising goals and skillfully demonstrating to voters that he will work to create jobs and stand up for the middle class.

“I am honored that so many people throughout Riverside County have joined our grassroots campaign to stand up for middle class families, create jobs and strengthen our economy,” Steve Pougnet said. “The early strength we have shown by being named to the Red to Blue program makes it clear we have the support, confidence, and momentum it will take to win in November.”

Mayor Pougnet has come out of the gate strong and the Red to Blue program will give him the financial and structural edge to be even more competitive in November,” said DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen. Pougnet is generating excitement and is making the case to voters that commitment to creating jobs and standing up for the middle class is far better than turning back the clock to the failed Bush policies of the past.”
