DCCC Has More Than $41M To Spend In Final Weeks

[WI_DEM]

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had a monster September, bringing in nearly $16 million and ending last month with $41.6 million in the bank for the homestretch of the midterm elections.

The monthly fundraising total is nearly twice as much as the committee raised in August, and leaves it with a significant amount to spend on an expanding landscape of competitive races that feature vulnerable incumbents.

The committee has spent nearly $19 million in independent expenditures so far, according to reports filed through Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission. According to DCCC spokeswoman Jennifer Crider, it will spend another $40 million on TV over the final few weeks, while $20 million will be spent through coordinated spending and direct get-out-the-vote efforts.

Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee had its own strong month of fundraising, bringing in $11.2 million and showing $19 million in cash-on-hand as of Sept. 30. That was its highest monthly total since 2006 and was thanks in part to more than $5 million in Member donations.

The NRCC's IE arm had spent just less than $20 million through Tuesday to boost the party's efforts to regain control of the House. The GOP needs a net gain of at least 39 seats to win the majority

3. Give if you can. GOP outside groups outspent Dem outside groups 9 to 1 in the last 2 weeks.

This is according to a news story I read today.

4. I'm giving my final contributions

on Sunday, since my credit card company's "month" ends on the 16th. Spares the pain of paying the bill for 30 days. I'm going in heavy(for a poor man) and hope you will give the most that you feel you can.

I hope you're volunteering to GOTV, too. The last two weeks into an election is so critical.
