The fourth quarter of 2017 was another telling sign that momentum continues to grow and the grassroots energy is firmly behind Democrats. Notably, over 50 Democratic candidates out-raised over 40 Republican incumbents. In the third quarter of 2017, 35 Republican incumbents were outraised, clarifying that this is a pattern, not an isolated incident. Notably, Republicans are also burning through their campaign funds at a shocking rate, decimating the cash on hand advantage that is expected of incumbents.
“Democratic candidates across the country are out-hustling and out-organizing Republican incumbents, many of whom have not faced a competitive challenge in a very long time and are struggling to find those old campaign muscles,” said DCCC Spokesman Tyler Law. “While Speaker Ryan’s Super PAC and the Koch brothers will dump unprecedented money into the midterms, our candidates are fueled by grassroots donations and they will have the resources they need to tell their stories and outline their records of service to voters.”
