Democratic Congressional Committee Raising More Than GOP Counterpart

Comstock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) -- There’s good news Tuesday for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which oversees the 435 races in the House of Representatives.  The committee out-raised its Republican counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee, for the month of March.

The DCCC raised $9.8 million last month, about $500,000 more than the NRCC’s $9.3 million.

Despite losing the majority in the House of Representatives after the 2010 midterm elections, the DCCC has been out-raising its Republican opponents with some regularity, beating the NRCC for five months in a row.  Most political spectators credit the committee’s strong fundraising to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s proven talent for raising money.

But the NRCC has more cash on hand.  It has about $27.1 million while the DCCC is about $4 million behind, with $22.8 million.

Both committees reported having no debts.
