lujan: we set a very aggressive budget. most importantly with the strategy behind the battlefield, i made a commitment to not concede one inch to our republican colleagues. everywhere we see opportunities, we will continue to expand. we will raise investments and most of the districts across the country. we need over 60 of these districts to be competitive. by growing the battlefield and expanding into areas that republicans are surprised by, by not just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, we are looking at candidate's strength and how we have been able to out raise republicans. also polling is on our side in many of these districts. we will continue to go to the battlefield. don't be surprised if it grows beyond 101 districts. the one thing i would like to highlight is it's not just 101 districts we have identified. 99 of the 101 have credible candidates in them. we're still recruiting and we will continue through the filing. we will continue to build resources. to out raiseable the rncc by $20 million in 2017.
