DERBY ADDED TO TOP-TIER RACE LIST

Promoted to Dems' Red-to-Blue Program

RENO, NV--In a major development in Nevada's Second Congressional District today, Jill Derby's campaign for Congress was named a top-tier targeted race by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

"I am thrilled to be acknowledged by the Red-to-Blue program," said Jill Derby.  "This support shows national recognition of how strong our grassroots campaign has grown here in Nevada.   The people of Nevada are ready for a change in Washington and I will be a voice for that change."

"This is a major national acknowledgment of Jill Derby's growing momentum here in Nevada," said Derby Campaign Manager David Mason.  "In times like these, we just can't afford partisan politicians who put special interests in front of Nevada families.  Nevadans are looking for a straight shooter who will put them first in Washington--that straight shooter is Jill Derby."

Jill Derby started life on her family’s Flying Flapjack Ranch in Lovelock and rural Nevada has shaped the values she holds today.  Derby is running for Congress to bring real change to Washington--to fulfill our promises made to veterans, forge a sensible energy plan, ensure access to health care for all Americans, and demand fiscal responsibility in government.  Her website is www.jillderby.com.
