Money can’t buy me love. Here are the November fundraising numbers for the six major party committees (October numbers are here):
| Committee | November Receipts | November Spent | Cash-on-Hand | CoH Change | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCCC | $3,645,574 | $2,811,095 | $15,351,967 | $834,479 | $2,666,667 |
| NRCC | $2,338,780 | $2,159,246 | $4,347,956 | $179,534 | $2,000,000 |
| DSCC | $3,000,000 | $2,500,000 | $11,900,000 | $600,000 | $1,700,000 |
| NRSC | $3,300,000 | $1,800,000 | $7,300,000 | $1,400,000 | $0 |
| DNC | $5,940,797 | $5,604,673 | $13,187,247 | $231,962 | $4,933,454 |
| RNC | $6,381,864 | $8,924,939 | $8,749,092 | ($2,543,075) | $0 |
We’ve added a new column to the chart, “CoH Change.” This just shows how much each committee’s cash-on-hand moved from the prior month, whether positive or negative. As you can see, the RNC spent a ton.
Why don’t the committees with tons of CoH pay down their debt immediately? Is it some sort of credit issue?
Menendez doesn’t seem to be the powerhouse that Schumer was. Of course, it’s not clear that Schumer could be the same powerhouse he was before in this economy.
is just burying the NRCC.
in the chart.
I am too technologically challenged to ever get charts to look right in soapblox.
I’d like to see “Total D” and “Total R” rows at the bottom of the table. The reason is that the DNC/RNC money is pretty fungible as between Senate and House races; what mostly matters in the end is how much total the two sides have to work with.
So here’s what the “total D” and “total R” rows would look like this month (I think):
note: I used your quick table-making trick – thanks!
