Dems flooding 3 House races with cash in hopes of gaining majority: report

Democrats are keying on three races — in New York, Florida and Maryland — that they hope can boost Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) chances of gaining a majority, according to a report.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm for House Democrats, is flushing cash into candidatesWhitney Fox of Florida, April McClain Delaney in Maryland and John Avlon in New York, Axios reported Thursday.

Fox is running in Florida's 13th Congressional District against incumbent Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who defeated Democrat Eric Lynn in 2022 with 53 percent of the vote in the right-leaning district.

Meanwhile, Delaney is a former Commerce Department official, lawyer and philanthropist running against Republican Neil Parrott, a former state delegate, in Maryland's 6th Congressional District. The race is expected to be the state’s most competitive congressional race this year, according to Maryland Matters. The district has a very slight Democratic lean.

And Avlon, a former CNN anchor and political commentator, is running for Congress on in New York's 1st Congressional District on Long Island against Republican incumbent Rep. Nick LaLota. That district has a slight Republican lean.
