The DSCC raised $5.1 million in December, beating the NRSC by more than $2 million for the month and outraising the Republican committee ten out of 12 months last year despite being in the minority. The DSCC raised $13.4 million in the fourth quarter and a total of $51.6 million in 2015, outraising the NRSC by more than $10 million in the year. The DSCC goes into 2016 with $10.8 million cash on hand and lowered its operational debt to $3.4 million.
Statement from Executive Director Tom Lopach: As we enter the election year, the DSCC is incredibly thankful to our supporters across the country who helped us post one of the strongest off-year fundraising totals in the committee’s history. These resources will allow us to support our outstanding class of candidates as they face millions of dollars being spent by Republican dark money organizations. We have the energy and momentum to win back the majority and once again have a Senate that fights for middle class families.
