EXCLUSIVE – House Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise has endorsed Dr. Prasanth Reddy for Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District.
“Dr. Prasanth Reddy personifies the American dream. He’s a cancer physician, military officer, and immigrant who’s spent his life serving others,” Scalise said in a statement provided to the“We need him in Congress because he’ll put what’s best for his district and country before his own self-interest.”
Reddy is competing to challenge Rep. Sharice Davids , who is in a seat that is one of House Republicans’ top targets this election cycle after Davids flipped the Kansas seat in 2018 and became the first Democrat to represent the Kansas congressional district in a decade. Reddy, an oncologist and retired Air Force veteran, must first win a primary in early August.
“This is a must-win seat. Dr. Reddy is the one who can get the job done, and I’m proud to endorse him,” Scalise added.. The National Republican Congressional Committee considered the seat a prime pickup opportunity last year when it selected it as one of its 37 top targets. “Majority Leader Steve Scalise is a profile in courage and someone who knows how to get things done,” Reddy said. “I’m proud to have his support, and I’m ready to work with him in Congress to secure the American dream for future generations.”. Reddy is a triple-board certified physician in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hematology. He has served as the senior vice president and global head of enterprise oncology at Labcorp since 2021.
As the 2024 cycle draws near, Republicans are seeking to hold on to their very slim majority and expand it in the House of Representatives. Of the 425 seats, 45 are considered competitive, most of which are held by Democrats.
