Van Drew won re-election in his South Jersey district, and with surprising ease.
Now it looks like the House Democrats’ political arm will stay away from spending big to target him again.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Tuesday released its list of 21 House Republicans it planned to go after in 2022, and Van Drew’s name conspicuously was missing.
