NRCC & RNC Fundraising has increase

by Ed Sistrunk, Grassroots Conservative Forum (GCF): The National Republican Congressional Committee narrowly outraised its House Democratic counterpart in January, ending a lengthy trend of losing the monthly money battles against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. In FEC reports filed last night, the NRCC reported raising $3.79 million in January, compared to the DCCC’s $3.72 million. The NRCC still badly trails the DCCC in cash on hand, banking just $6.4 million to the DCCC’s $35.4 million. The NRCC has also paid off a small part of its existing debt, which now stands at $2.3 million. On the Senate side, Democrats continue to hold a narrow fundraising advantage for the month. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raised $3.9 million in January, ending the month with $30.5 million on hand. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, meanwhile, raised $3.5 million and banked $13.2 million.

The Republican National Committee's had solid fundraising numbers for the month of January. The RNC has been the only GOP campaign committee to consistently outraise its Democratic counterpart, raising $11.6 million in January to the Democratic National Committee's $5.7 million. For the cycle, the RNC has significantly outraised the DNC, $95 million to $56 million.
