DCCC lists Stender and Adler as top prospects; Stender raises $615k

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has listed New Jersey’s third and seventh congressional districts in its top pickup prospects for 2008.

The DCCC released its “Red to Blue” list today, which included both of the district’s Democratic congressional candidates: state Sen. John Adler and Assemblywoman Linda Stender.

The Red to Blue program will provide Stender and Adler with financial support, as well as help with strategy and communications, according to a DCCC press release. To qualify for the program, the candidates had to meet fundraising goals.

“These are our top priority districts,” said DCCC spokeswoman Carrie James.

Stender announced today that she’s raised $615,000 for her second run at the seventh congressional district seat, and has $501,000 cash on hand.

Adler previously announced that he raised $610,000 in 2007 and has $580,000 on hand.
