The Hill reported last week that national Republicans are expecting an opponent to emerge against Rep. Michael Arcuri very soon. The article also reveals that New York’s 24th District is one of the NRCC’s “top targeted races.”
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is expecting a small wave of recruits in the coming weeks, including filling holes in several top targeted races.
The committee is expecting recruits to emerge soon against Reps. Michael Arcuri (D-N.Y.), John Barrow (D-Ga.), Baron Hill (D-Ind.), David Loebsack (D-Iowa) and Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.), who are all without major committee-recruited GOP challengers. All but Barrow are freshmen.
It is anyone’s guess who the opponent might be. Former state Sen. Ray Meier, who ran against Arcuri in 2006, remains a possibility, but the GOP could also seek a fresh face. Regardless of who emerges, Arcuri will be hard to beat.
