The Hill newspaper in Washington reports today that Vermont's U.S. House race is not among those the National Republican Congressional Committee has on its "Final Push List" for those "most in need of support right now.”

Here's what the story says on our race:

"Open seats that the NRCC is not making a final push for include the
competitive contests for retiring Reps. Bob Beauprez (R-Colo.) and Jim Kolbe
(R-Ariz.) as well as Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Senate.
Peter Welch, the Democrat seeking to win Sanders’ seat, enjoys a major
cash-on-hand advantage over Republican Martha Rainville.

"Patru said Rainville is 'where she needs to be in fundraising.'
Rainville’s campaign did not return a phone call
seeking comment."

Here's a link to the full STORY.
