House Democratic campaign arm raised $12.1 million in January
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raked in more than $12 million last month, the largest January haul in its history.
The $12.1 million bested the DCCC’s previous January fundraising record by about $2.8 million. About $5.8 million of the monthly total came from small-dollar grassroots contributions, with an average donation size of $16, the committee said.
The monthly total marks a strong start to 2020 for the DCCC after it raised nearly $125 million last year, also a record.
The DCCC has repeatedly outpaced its GOP counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), in fundraising, prompting Republican leaders in Congress to sound the alarm in recent weeks.
In a closed-door meeting with members of his conference last month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) acknowledged that Republican members are “getting our ass kicked” in the money race.
