The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced Tuesday that it had raised $9.5 million in the first month of this year.
The DCCC released January numbers on Tuesday, saying in a press release: latest funds Total cash on hand is nearly $52 million. The announcement comes just a week after Democrats flipped a Republican seat in the House of Representatives in a New York special election to fill the vacant seat of former Rep. George Santos (R.N.Y.).
“House Republicans started this year by continuing to prioritize political maneuvering over bipartisan solutions, all while pushing the government toward another shutdown,” DCCC Chairwoman Susan DelBene said in a statement. said.
“House Democrats will continue to stand up against this rampant extremism and dysfunction. I am grateful to my colleague, Leader Jeffries, and grassroots donors across the country. Please secure our resources, continue to reduce costs, and continue to protect the rights and freedoms of working people.”
The DCCC said former Rep. Tom Suozzi’s victory last week over Republican Maji Pilip “chips away at the dysfunctional Republican majority and provides critical momentum in an election year.” It’s being built,” he said. Suozzi’s victory would narrow the House Republican majority to a narrow 219-213 once he takes office.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York announced last month that he had raised $113 million for 2023 Democratic candidates, including $99 million for the DCCC last year. The move comes as House Democrats eye several potential flip opportunities in 2024, including in Jeffries’ home state of New York.
