DNC raises $8.6M in June, trailing RNC
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) said it raised $8.6 million in the month of June, marking half of the Republican National Committee’s $16.2 million haul during the same period.
The RNC has $80.78 million in the bank while the DNC has $15.22 million.
Democrats note that the RNC had more transfers this cycle and touted the Democratic committee’s grassroots prowess this cycle. The DNC noted that their June haul was the best-ever June for grassroots donations during an off-year and said DNC Chair Ken Martin raised more than any other new DNC chair in the first months of their tenure. Additionally, the cash-on-hand ratio was worse for Democrats at this point in 2017, showing there is room to catch up.
“Around the country, people are energized, ready to fight back, and empowering Democrats to win elections,” the committee’s chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “The DNC is breaking grassroots fundraising records, bringing on more volunteers than ever, and raising record-setting funds to beat Republicans. Democrats are back in the ring thanks to grassroots energy across all 50 states, and together, we’re going to defeat the toxic Republican agenda and put this country back on track for hard-working families.”
