“This unprecedented support from a presidential campaign to the DSCC will significantly improve the prospects of a Democratic Senate in November,” said Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD). (The DSCC raised $15.1 million in the 2nd quarter of 2004.)
“This historic and generous contribution reflects John Kerry's commitment to a legislative agenda worthy of the aspirations and needs of the American people,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said. “He knows that when he is president, a Democratic House will support and engage him in his work to make America stronger at home and more respected in the world.”
“We are overwhelmed by the tremendous generosity of the Kerry campaign,” said DCCC Chair Robert T. Matsui (CA). “This is the first time in recent history that a presidential campaign has contributed to the DCCC, and it just goes to show John Kerry's commitment to electing a Democratic House. We look forward to standing with John Kerry and John Edwards and enacting an agenda that fosters hope and opportunity throughout America.” (The DCCC raised $16 million in the 2nd quarter of 2004.)
