A Financial Bright Spot for Democrats

[SecularMotion]

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ended the month of June with twice as much money in the bank as the National Republican Congressional Committee, according to fund-raising figures released Tuesday, an advantage that Democratic leaders hope will help protect their majority in the midterm elections.

Both parties raised $9 million in June, which was the most lucrative month for the Republican committee since July 2008. Yet at the midpoint of the year, the D.C.C.C. still had $34 million compared to $17 million for the N.R.C.C.

The financial edge – one of the biggest bright spots for the party – allows the Democratic committee to invest in more competitive races across the country. The money will allow some of the party’s candidates to begin their television advertising campaigns earlier in an effort to hold onto their seats in a challenging political environment.
