The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has come out early in saying that Democrat Jonathan Powers will get its financial support in the 26th Congressional District seat being vacated by Rep. Thomas Reynolds.
The campaign committee is putting Powers on its Red To Blue program, which means money and assistance for Powers’ campaign.
“Jon Powers has assembled a strong and dynamic campaign with strong grassroots support, local labor leaders, and all seven Democratic committees,” said Chairman Chris Van Hollen. “Jon Powers will bring the leadership skills he used in Iraq to the issues facing western New York – bringing good paying jobs to the district and fighting to reduce gas prices for middle class families.”
In 2006, Syracuse Democratic candidate Dan Maffei got the committee’s support, helping him to come within just a few thousand votes of beating Rep. James Walsh, R-Syracuse.

The color of the program is “GREEN” the color of “MONEY”. They are going to “GREEN” the campaign. Now thats what I call a real “GREEN” person.
