Curtains Will Soon Close on Davis’ Time in Congress
Act One:
NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer sounds the alarm on Republican fundraising, saying that individual “members need to get their act together and raise more money.”
Act Two:
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other GOP officials pile on, warning “we’re getting our ass kicked.”
Act Three:
Democrat Betsy Dirksen Londrigan outraises incumbent Congressman Rodney Davis in Q4 and now has more cash-on-hand than Davis as she heads into the November election.
Betsy Dirksen Londrigan
Q4: $530,000
Cash-On-Hand: $1.14 million
Rodney Davis
Q4: $360,000
Cash-On-Hand: $1.08 million
As Davis’ fellow Republican noted: “Look, there are only two types of politicians. Those who raise money and losers.”
