Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La.) says he’s not concerned that the House Republican campaign committee has not yet moved to reserve TV airtime in his district.
Campaign experts rank Cao as the most vulnerable House Republican incumbent as he fights for a second term representing a majority African-American district that voted overwhelmingly for President Obama in 2008.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) recently indicated it will reserve ad time in 41 districts, all but one controlled by Democrats. The one GOP-held district is now represented by Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who is running for the Senate.
Cao told The Hill this week that he’s unfazed.
“I’m not concerned at all whether or not the NRCC decides to jump into the race or not. That’s not my focus. My focus has always been to serve the needs of my people and to keep on doing the good things I do. And at the end of the day, I think they will see the good things that we do and will reelect me, whether or not the NRCC is there or not,” Cao said.
The lower chamber’s only Vietnam-born lawmaker was on Capitol Hill this week for a rare August hearing on government abuse of Catholics in his native country. |
