Blog Featured: DCCC Spotlight on 10th District Race, Poll Shows Seals Lead

July 29, 2010 – 2:31 pm

Admin Note (7/30): A memo obtained by the Chicago Tribune shows Seals with a 46-38 lead over Dold. [end note]

Yesterday the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee outlined the key battle grounds for the fall election.  The DCCC invested $49 million to reserve air time for 56 districts which will be crucial for the party in November.  The 10th district is among them.

This national level recognition highlights the importance of sending Dan Seals to Washington next year. The Illinois 10th district is one of just 6 Republican-held districts  that the DCCC is funding. Furthermore, according to Greg Sargent at the Washington Post, the 10th is  one of the most significant opportunities for Democrats to win a Republican seat.  As is the trend in mid-term elections,  the Democrats, being the party of the  President, are in danger of losing a significant share of seats in Congress. Winning back the 10th  is essential to ensuring the voices of average Americans are heard in Congress  next year.
