House Democrats Break Fundraising Record In August
Democrats are setting fundraising records heading into the 2018 election.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in August broke a record with its fundraising haul, according to a report by NBC news.
The DCCC brought in its biggest fundraising total for an off-year August.
The House Democrats fundraising effort raised $6.26 million during the month of August compared to the same month in 2015, the committee raised just $4.15 million.
“With the House in play, another record-breaking month of fundraising for the DCCC is a clear sign that the grassroots energy behind House Democrats is constantly growing stronger,” Tyler Law, a spokesman for the committee, told NBC News.
“Given Speaker [Paul] Ryan’s failure to govern with unified Republican control of Washington, it’s understandable that vulnerable House Republicans are opting for retirement while we are recruiting incredible candidates deep into the map.”
The DCCC has raised $72.46 million so far this year.
