The DCCC raised $11.6 million last month, posting its best February in any on-year or off-year. Needless to say, people noticed.
Meanwhile, the NRCC raised just over $7 million. Something they’d probably label a “moral victory.”
What DCCC Chairwoman Bustos is Saying:
“Democrats across America aren’t wasting a second to protect and expand our new majority. The fact that we just had our strongest February in the history of the DCCC shows that our momentum is only growing. I’m proud to lead a DCCC that’s supported by grassroots donors who believe in bringing down the cost of health care, raising wages for everyday Americans, and holding Washington Republicans accountable for their culture of corruption.”
