Whitney Fox Added to DCCC’s Coveted ‘Red to Blue’ Program

Whitney Fox will flip FL-13 blue and help take back the House majority

Today, the DCCC announced that Whitney Fox has been added to the committee's highly competitive 'Red to Blue' program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Fox, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as she runs for Florida's 13th Congressional District.

"Pinellas County voters are tired of Anna Paulina Luna's far-right extremism in Congress. Instead of working to lower costs and strengthen border security, Luna is constantly chasing headlines and sowing dysfunction. Whitney Fox is the pragmatic, solutions-oriented leader that Floridians deserve. She will put their needs above petty partisanship and is ready to come to Congress and fight for the people," said DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene.

Whitney Fox is a Tampa Bay native raised by a single mother and is running for Congress to fight for the future of families like hers. During her tenure at the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, she worked with Democrats and Republicans to improve the Pinellas County transportation system and create jobs for community members. Whitney's results oriented approach is the perfect foil to Anna Paulina Luna's chaotic style of governing. She is dedicated to championing access to health care, affordable housing, and supporting local small businesses. In Congress, Whitney will fight to lower grocery costs, cap the cost of prescription drugs, and protect Social Security and abortion rights so that all hardworking Florida families can thrive.

Florida has a statewide ballot initiative to protect abortion rights this November which, given Luna's radical and unpopular agenda to restrict abortion access, will be a boon to Whitney's campaign as she highlights her fierce advocacy for abortion rights.

Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, and more.
