Four Blue Dog Candidates Added to DCCC Red to Blue Program
May 4, 2026
WASHINGTON, DC. – Today Blue Dog PAC Chair Adam Gray (CA-13) released the following statement after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added four Blue Dog PAC-endorsed candidates to its competitive Red to Blue program: Dr. Jasmeet Bains in CA-22, Bob Brooks in PA-07, Bobby Pulido in TX-15, and Johnny Garcia in TX-35.
“The path back to a Democratic House majority runs through the Blue Dogs. Jasmeet Bains, Bob Brooks, Bobby Pulido, and Johnny Garcia are solid candidates because they know their communities. They’ve lived there, worked there, and understand what matters to the people they want to represent.
Adding all four to Red to Blue is the right call and a smart move by Chair Suzan DelBene and the DCCC team. If we want to build real, sustainable majorities, we have to show up everywhere and run candidates who fit their districts. Voters can see the difference.”
Six Blue Dog PAC-endorsed candidates are now on the DCCC’s Red to Blue list. Half of Blue Dogs serving in Congress today were elected in seats won by Donald Trump in 2024.
The Blue Dog PAC works to support the House Blue Dogs, a coalition of House Democrats who stand for fiscal stability and national security. Blue Dogs embrace bipartisanship and work to find common sense solutions to the challenges facing our country. Blue Dogs have been at the center of the most important bipartisan policy agreements in Congress over the last 25 years.
