Castro forms PAC, boosts five House candidates
Former Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) announcing the formation of a PAC.
The paperwork, which the FEC website shows was signed Wednesday, indicated that the People First Future PAC has donated to five Democrats: Reps. Joaquin Castro (Texas) and Lauren Underwood (Ill.) and House challengers Marie Newman (Ill.), J.D. Scholten (Iowa) and Wendy Davis (Texas).
Underwood, a first-term lawmaker who flipped a Republican district in 2018, is running for reelection in a tight race after winning her seat by 5 points two years ago.
Meanwhile all three Democratic challengers are running in high-profile races. Newman is waging a primary fight against Rep. Dan Lipinski (D), who has earned the ire of progressives over his opposition to abortion access and past comments on the LGBTQ community.
