DCCC outpaces NRCC in Feb. fundraising

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) outraised its Republican counterpart by about $1.5 million, it will report in Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

The DCCC raised $3.5 million in donations in February, spokeswoman Jennifer Crider said in an email.

The committee, in charge of spearheading Democrats’ electoral efforts in the House, reported having $2.9 million in cash on hand.

The committee also managed to cut its debt down to $15 million from a reported $16 million in January.

By contrast, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) raised $2 million in February, and has $1.85 million in cash on hand, and $6.4 million in debt.
