Driven by Grassroots Momentum, DCCC Laps NRCC, Outraises by $6 Million

Driven by another surge of online grassroots donations, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has once again lapped the National Republican Congressional Committee in monthly fundraising, raising $10.2 million in August and outraising the NRCC by nearly $6 million.

Just this week, the DCCC passed a major milestone, raising $150 million for the cycle.

Despite being in the minority, the DCCC brought in $10.2 million in August, bringing its total raised for the cycle to $146.4 million. With $54.5 million in the bank, the DCCC has conserved $15 million more cash than at this point in the 2012 or 2010 cycle. The DCCC holds a nearly $9 million cash advantage over the NRCC.

“Heading into the final six weeks of the election, the out-of-touch Republican agenda continues to drive our record-breaking fundraising,” said DCCC Chairman Steve Israel. “Thanks to the remarkable surge of grassroots support, we are able to fight back against the Koch brothers and hold Republicans all across the country accountable for their records of stacking the deck for special interests while turning their backs on the middle class.”
