NRCC Chairman Goes to Bat for Carlos Curbelo Against Joe Garcia

On Friday, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), sent out a fundraising email on Carlos Curbelos behalf, attempting to link Joe Garcia with U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Walden warned Republicans that Democrats planned to support Garcia with their checkbooks and called for Republicans to open their wallets for Curbelo.

Hes our candidate to beat Joe Garcia and Nancy Pelosi, but the Democrats have already reserved more than $2 million in advertising against him, Walden wrote. His real race has just started.

Carlos knows what it takes to lead and will fight for the best for South Florida -- but hes in a tight race, Walden added.
