The anxiety is already rising among lawmakers and their allies. Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder, an imperiled suburban congressman whom Democrats are spending heavily to defeat, has recently complained to allies that the national committee hasn’t done enough to help him in his reelection bid, according to four people familiar with the conversations.
In another instance of the angst, Northern Virginia-based Republican donor Bobbie Kilberg pressed senior party officials at a Mitt Romney-hosted policy summit in Utah this summer on why Congressional Leadership Fund, the principal House GOP-aligned super PAC, wasn’t doing more to help Comstock. The group isn’t planning to air any TV ads in support of the congresswoman — and some people close to the organization view her race as essentially unwinnable.
“It’s personally upsetting to me,” said Kilberg, a Comstock friend and financial backer. “The fact that CLF has not supported Barbara — and has not indicated they will do so — I find very disappointing.”
