Washington — The National Republican Congressional Committee today announced Kevin Lundberg as an ‘On the Radar’ candidate, the important second step in the ‘Young Guns’ program. Founded during the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the ‘Young Guns’ program is a Member-driven effort that is the primary method for recruiting strong candidates for both open-seat and incumbent challenge elections. Lundberg is running for Colorado’s Second Congressional District.

“We are looking forward to working with Kevin Lundberg, who has already proven himself by meeting rigorous benchmarks in the ‘Young Guns’ program that will position his campaign for victory,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX). “Kevin Lundberg’s dedication and experience positions him to advocate for pro-growth policies and fight the failed Democrat status quo in Washington. This will stand in stark contrast to the Democrats’ record of spending, borrowing and taxing that Colorado families know has failed.”

The ‘Young Guns’ program encourages candidates who have proven their ability to meet crucial campaign benchmarks to develop their campaigns further in order to achieve victory on Election Day. In achieving ‘On the Radar’ status, Lundberg has met the second set of these organizational and fundraising benchmarks and has already begun to establish himself as a strong contender.

A proud Colorado native, Kevin Lundberg’s family has lived in Colorado since his grandparents settled there more than 100 years ago. Lundberg has owned and operated a media and video production service for the past 31 years and served in the Colorado House and Senate. A passion for community service, he served on the Board of Trustees for Colorado Christian University, helped to found the Christian Home Educators of Colorado, and assists in teaching at the Galilee Church. Lundberg is committed to creating jobs, balancing the budget, and representing the Second District as a conservative voice in Washington.
