The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee says it is adding Nevada congressional hopeful Susie Lee as one of the first 11 candidates in its Red to Blue program, which offers promising candidates extra fundraising and structural help to maintain momentum.

The committee says that Lee surpassed aggressive goals for fundraising, campaign organization and local support to land a spot in the program. Last cycle, Red to Blue included the district’s current officeholder — Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen — who’s leaving to run for the U.S. Senate.

“Susie has clearly shown that she has what it takes to build and execute a winning campaign to serve families in southern Nevada,” said DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján.

The committee says that in 2018, it plans to make more targeted and frequent additions to the Red to Blue program compared with past election cycles. The name derives from the DCCC’s aim to flip Republican seats to Democrats or capture open seats, such as the 3rd Congressional District.

Lee, who lost in a heated primary for Nevada’s 4th Congressional District in 2016, isn’t expected to face a competitive primary this cycle. She’s projected to face off with the winner of an already feisty Republican primary that includes state Sen. Scott Hammond, former Assemblywoman Victoria Seaman, David McKeon and former TV reporter Michelle Mortenson.

In the last fundraising quarter, Lee raised $315,178 — about the same as the combined fundraising totals of four Republican opponents during that period.

The 3rd Congressional District in the southern part of the state is the swingiest in Nevada with nearly even voter registration between the two parties. It was held for three cycles by Republican Rep. Joe Heck before political newcomer Rosen beat Republican Danny Tarkanian for the seat in 2016 when Heck ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate.

Democrats, deeply in the minority in the House, are hoping a wave of anti-Donald Trump sentiment can help them recapture a majority.
