Dem congressional candidates raise over $1B in record haul

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic congressional candidates combined have raised more than $1 billion this election cycle, underscoring an investment in flipping control of the House and Senate in next months midterms.

A Washington Post review of Federal Election Commission records found that Democratic candidates raised $1.06 billion through the end of September. The figure surpassed the previous high of roughly $900 million given to Republican congressional candidates in 2012.

It also marks the first time since 2008 that Democrats have outraised Republicans in direct contributions to candidates, even as the Republican National Committee (RNC) has significantly outpeformed the fundraising total of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in the current election cycle.

Republicans candidates this year have received $709 million through September, The Washington Post found.

1. Means Nothing if...

...they are not using it to go into disenfranchised minority neighborhoods and districts and take them to the polls.

I've been wondering for awhile now how we can use this record haul to be more proactive to combat voter suppression.

Though there is quite a bit of money, we still may need to get our hands dirty.
