Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln is receiving an extra boost from Republicans in an effort to oust Rep. Josh Harder (D–Tracy) from Congress.
The National Republican Congressional Committee announced Monday that Lincoln has been named on the initial list of 26 candidates for the 2024 Young Guns program.
Driving the news: The NRCC runs its Young Gun program to mentor and support candidates in races across the nation.
- Candidates in the program are required to work toward specific goals and meet benchmarks throughout the election cycle to ensure that their campaigns remain competitive, well-funded and communicative within their districts.
What they’re saying: “Self-serving politician Josh Harder has fueled the border, crime and cost of living crises that are wreaking havoc on Central Valley families’ safety and security. Mayor Kevin Lincoln is in a prime position to flip California’s 9th district red and help grow our House majority in November,” said NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen.
