NRCC Statement on Lizzie Fletcher Winning TX-7 Democratic Primary

The NRCC released the following statement after Lizzie Fletcher was declared the winner of Texas’ Seventh District’s Democratic Primary:

“It took the full weight of the Washington establishment to drag Lizzie Fletcher’s wounded candidacy across the finish line. The truth is, Fletcher adopted many of the far-left’s fringe ideas just to survive this intraparty blood feud – Texans will find her loyalty lies with Nancy Pelosi and the party bosses who propped up her candidacy, not fighting for their interests or values.” -NRCC Spokesman Jack Pandol

The DCCC took unprecedented steps to support Fletcher’s candidacy, not only posting opposition research on her opponent, but also working to dry up Moser’s fundraising in Texas.

On Democrats’ chances in the district Houston Rep. Gene Green told Talking Points Memo yesterday: “Don’t get your hopes up too much. If you look below John Culberson, every local elected official is a Republican. It’s still an uphill battle.”
