The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced on Monday that Caroleene Dobson is on the initial list of 26 candidates for its 2024 Young Guns program.
Dobson, a Republican, faces Shomari Figures, a Democrat, in Alabama's second congressional district. Dobson is currently within the margin of error in a poll released last week.
"Extreme House Democrats like Shomari Figures have fueled the border, crime and cost of living crises that are wreaking havoc on Alabamans' safety and security. Caroleene Dobson is in a prime position to keep Alabama's 2nd District red and help grow our House majority in November," NRCC spokeswoman Delanie Bomar said on Monday.
The Young Gun program mentors and supports candidates in races across the country and works to provide them with the necessary tools to run successful, winning campaigns against their Democratic opponents.
The program requires candidates to work towards specific goals and meet benchmarks throughout the election cycle to ensure their campaigns remain competitive, well-funded and communicative within their districts.
