Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux is getting some timely reinforcements after sealing the party's nomination in her second bid to flip a Republican-held suburban Atlanta district.

Cheri Bustos of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said Thursday that Bourdeaux was tapped to the group’s “Red to Blue” program that promises to steer resources to the Gwinnett-based district.

And the powerful Emily’s List PAC endorsed Bourdeaux this week, vowing to “help her across the finish line” in her campaign against Republican Rich McCormick, an emergency room physician who also won his primary without a runoff.

Bourdeaux is making another run at the district two years after narrowly losing to U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall in the nation’s tightest U.S. House election in 2018.
