Washington, D.C. - July 21, 2010 - Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) announced that the Koster for Congress campaign has reached 'Contender' status in its Young Guns Program. The Young Guns Program is an organization run by members of Congress and dedicated to electing open-seat and challenger candidates across the country. By reaching 'Contender' status, the Koster campaign has proven its ability to build a successful and competitive campaign.

John Koster commented on the recognition, "I am honored that our campaign has reached 'Contender' status. Since we kicked off this campaign in January, we have reached all of our incremental goals, and it is great to be recognized by the campaign committee for our efforts. This campaign has been a complete grassroots movement made up of hard-working people who have had enough of wasteful spending, sky-rocketing debt, and double digit unemployment. As we forge ahead over the next three months, we will strive to accomplish our main goal, defeating Rick Larsen and getting our country back on a path fiscal responsibility."
