In a rare move, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is aiming it's opposition research firepower at a Democrat.
Not usually known for actively campaigning against Democratic candidates in congressional primaries, the DCCC is drawing attention and criticism for taking a square shot at candidate Laura Moser, a freelance writer and progressive activist who is running for Congress in Texas's Seventh Congressional District, which includes parts of Houston.
Moser, the founder of the activist text messaging platform Daily Action, is one of seven Democratic candidates competing in a March 6 primary.
The top two winners will head to a runoff election, and the winner of that race will ultimately compete against incumbent Republican Rep. John Culberson in November.
The DCCC recently published an opposition research memo on it's website against Moser.
These memos, full of negative research on candidates, are usually used against Republican candidates in the general election.
