Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Raised Record $11.6 Million in February

Bigger than any previous February toll—even in election years.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised a record $11.6 million last month, which amounts to its largest-ever February haul, even when election years are included. Politico reports the House Democrats’ campaign arm raised $4.6 million from the DCCC’s grassroots network online, via phone, or from mail. Online donors gave nearly $3 million, with an average February contribution of $18. The record take will help Democrats prepare for the 2020 election cycle. “Democrats across America aren’t wasting a second to protect and expand our new majority,” said DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos. “The fact that we just had our strongest February in the history of the DCCC shows that our momentum is only growing.”
