Recchia Getting Early Aid From D.C. Democrats

Councilman Domenic Recchia is getting a lot of help from Washington Democrats in his quest to unseat Congressman Michael Grimm in the upcoming 2014 elections.

The New York Daily News is reporting that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has listed Recchia as one of seven “top tier” recruits who are fighting to win competitive districts.

While the amount of aid the DCCC is giving Recchia has not yet been reported, their early support signals the belief that Recchia is one of the best bets to win back a seat for the Democrats in Congress.

Last month we reported that Recchia had already raised a record $410,000 in his first five weeks of fundraising. In contrast, Grimm’s campaign is nearly $500,000 in debt, with $300,000 cash in hand.
