The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee warned political strategists and vendors Thursday night that if they support candidates mounting primary challenges against incumbent House Democrats, the party will cut them off from business.
The consultant asked for anonymity given their relationship with the DCCC, and the party organization's professed strategy of blacklisting firms that don't fall in line.
It's no secret that the DCCC and national party leaders.
The DCCC is known for prioritizing candidates and direct them to its own consultants.
To the DCCC last year asking why the group didn't include any black candidates in its "Red to Blue" program, which targets seats that have a promising chance to flip.
Strategists and congressional staffers with knowledge of the change say it will disproportionately impact vendors and candidates who are women and people of color, as the consultants who work with incumbents are the ones who've come up through the party at a time when its commitment to diversity was even dimmer than it is today.
Alex Rojas, the head of Justice Democrats, the bane of the DCCC, is backing a primary challenge to incumbent Henry Cuellar in Texas, while looking for other candidates across the country.
