Larry Grant (ID-01) is 10th Blue Catapult Adoptee

Blue Catapult PAC has made Larry Grant's quest for Congress in Idaho's 1st congressional districts its 10th race in which it is supporting a Democrtaic Challenger.
Normally Idaho would not be a state friendly to Democratic candidates, but Larry Grant is different. Not only is he well-qualified, reasonable and thoughtful on the issues, his opponent, Club for Growth (should be called "The Club for Debt") backed candidate Bill Sali is so reviled by even elected officials of his own Republican Party, that "Republicans for Grant" has become a major element of the campaign.
The Republican Party has spent tens of thousands of dollars in a district that normally they would leave alone as a certain Republican seat. But Larry Grant's rising campaign and the Republican Party nominating an extremist has changed the equation, making Larry a great choice for Blue Catapult's 10th adoption.
Blue Catapult is a grassroots PAC that just adopts Democrats challenging incumbent Republicans or GOP-held seats. Since March we have adopted candidates who, with support, would have winning campaigns. Since we started, all of our candidates are now, at some level, targeted by the DCCC:
Darcy Burner (WA-08)
Chris Carney (PA-10)
Eric Massa (NY-29)
Dan Seals (IL-10)
Angie Paccione (CO-04)
John Cranley (OH-1)
Victoria Wulsin (OH-2)
Phyllis Busansky (FL-09)
Jerry McNerney (CA-11)
Larry Grant (ID-01)

What others have said about us:
"Blue Catapult was a strong supporter of our campaign way before the pundits in DC knew where PA-10 even was. Thanks so much for all your support--we are in the final stretch and wouldn't want anyone else by our side. You guys are doing a great job! Keep it up!"
-Chris Carney, Democratic Candidate for Congress (Pennsylvania 10th)
"Blue Catapult was with me before this race was on the map...now we're ranked as one of the 40 most competitive race in the country! Thanks to your support we are in a position to win!"
-Angie Paccione, Democratic Candidate for Congress (Colorado 4th)
"Blue Catapult put several races on the radar screen before anyone else in Washington, DC and provided seed money to emerging challengers before any other PAC. If you care about funding great candidates in places where Democrats can win, but aren't yet targeted by the professionals, Blue Catapult is a great way to turn thought into action."
