National Republican Congressional Committee
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) recorded its best fundraising and largest advertising cycle during the 2014 midterms. The House Democrats' fundraising arm boasted $172 million in fundraising this election, its best cycle ever, reaching $110 million in grassroots funding with 95 percent of gifts being $50 or less. That compares to the National Republican Congressional Committee's $131 million this cycle.
The National Republican Congressional Committee edged out the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in June fundraising, bringing in $10.7 million to $10.5 million for the DCCC. It is a switch from May, when the DCCC narrowly led the NRCC.
The DCCC has outraised the NRCC so far for the cycle by nearly $10 million, but because of the debt it took on from the 2010 cycle and a higher burn rate, it trails in cash on hand. The NRCC has $41 million in the bank, while the DCCC has $32 million.
The fundraising arm of the Democratic Party working to elect its candidates to the U.S. House of Representatives raised $6.7 million in May, catching up and topping its Republican counterpart for the month.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee figures released on Tuesday showed the DCCC raised more in May than in April and exceeded the National Republican Congressional Committee's haul for the cycle as well.
The NRCC brought in $6 million in May, but continues to have more cash left on hand.
The political committee representing House Democrats said it has raised more than $61 million last year, giving the group a stronger financial footing heading into the November election. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's fundraising blitz leaves it with $11.6 million in cash on hand, helping to extinguish the debt the group carried through late last year.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, the Democrats' House counterpart, said it has about $15 million cash on hand.
