The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has added Mike Obermueller to the top of its "Red to Blue" list -- indicating his campaign will receive financial, communications, organizing and strategic support. Obermuller, who served for two years in the Minnesota House, is challenging Republican Rep. John Kline in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District this fall.

Minnesota Congressman John Kline tells supporters in a fundraising letter that this fall's campaign will be his toughest race since he was first elected ten years ago. A national Democratic group will funnel money to challenger, Mike Obermueller.

U.S. Rep. John Kline has $1.3 million in the bank as he seeks re-election in a newly redrawn 2nd Congressional District, his campaign spokesman Troy Young said Friday. The Republican Congressman, who has represented the 2nd District since 2003, is facing a wider Democratic voting base since the district was redrawn.

The popular fifth-term congressman has to fight a bit harder than he is used to in his re-election bid this year against Democrat Mike Obermueller in the 2nd District race. The candidates plan to launch TV ads on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
