June Party Committee Fundraising Roundup

There’s a tuppeny hapenny millionaire – looking for a fourpenny one. Here are the June fundraising numbers for the six major party committees (May numbers are here):










































































Committee June Receipts June Spent Cash-on-Hand CoH Change Debt
DCCC $9,015,455 $3,859,551 $33,783,725 $5,155,904 $0
NRCC $9,153,412 $4,132,420 $17,039,526 $5,020,992 $0
DSCC $7,100,000 $3,100,000 $21,000,000 $3,400,000 $0
NRSC $4,000,000 $2,500,000 $19,700,000 $1,600,000 $0
DNC $6,464,411 $9,980,695 $10,974,764 ($3,516,285) $3,878,168
RNC $5,907,897 $7,593,539 $10,895,695 ($1,685,642) $2,027,970
Total Dem $22,579,866 $16,940,246 $65,758,489 $5,039,619 $3,878,168
Total GOP $19,061,309 $14,225,959 $47,635,221 $4,935,350 $2,027,970

Just a quick note on the Dem vs. GOP cash disparities: In March, it was $21.5 mil, then $18.6 mil, then $18.0 mil, and now it’s down to $16.1 mil $18.1 mil.

UPDATE: I made a mistake and misreported the cash-on-hand totals for both the DSCC and NRSC. Both sets of numbers were in fact higher than I reported, the DSCC moreso than the NRSC, meaning the Dems added more net cash overall.

  2. I notice that this month there is a huge gap between Receipts-Spent=X and CoH change, why is this ? (22.5-16.9=5.6 but Coh change is 1.5?)

    Also does anyone know how the amount of fines are determined by the FEC? I only ask because I’d like to know the full damage done to the RNC from this accounting scandal, im sure it will be more then the 7 mil after fines, resignations and maybe people asking for donations back

  3. That is the COH change does match the difference in receipts and spending.  Nor is it even close.  What accounts for this?

  4. Still getting doubled up in cash on hand by the D-Trip with less than 15 weeks remaining.  Every time I bring this up, I keep getting told “oh wait another month, wait another month, the surge is coming!”  or “well, wait for the corporations to bail them out!”  Well, they finally have a decent month in June only for the D-Trip to respond and match them over the same time period.  

    The D-Trip is going to be spending like mad all over the country at this rate, $33 million worth plus future receipts.  With only half the financial resources of the D-Trip, the NRCC and the republicans are going to have a very difficult time allotting the resources in such a way that will allow them to take the house.  

  5. The whole idea of having more cash than the other side is to spend it. By the end of the cycle, both sides will have burned just about all of what they have and the disparity will be close to zero.

    The real issue is whether the cash advantage is being utilized effectively.

  6. The NRCC a huge cash on hand disparity and many districts to play in that seem more favorable than IA-03. Meanwhile, Leonard Boswell has seven times Brad Zaun’s cash on hand, and that’s before Bill Clinton comes to Des Moines next week to raise money for Boswell.

    Some Democratic incumbents are going to lose despite outspending their opponents, but there’s no doubt in my mind the NRCC is going to leave winnable seats on the table for lack of resources to compete.

  7. PPP poll here:  http://www.publicpolicypolling…

    Sink leads Scott and Chiles 36-30-13, and she leads McCollum and Chiles 37-23-14.  Undecideds remain high, in the 20s.

    Sink largely unknown, at 24-22 favorability with a majority having no opinion.

    But Scott’s favorability is a bad 23-41, and McCollum’s a horrific 16-51.

    No GOP primary numbers, but here’s a clue:  among Republicans, McCollum’s favorability underwater at 27-40, and Scott’s a positive but still very tepid 34-30.  So Scott probably is winning.

    Indies hate both, giving Scott a 26-40 negative favorability, and McCollum a horrific 9-57 that is virtually identical to the 8-59 Democrats give him!

    Given the late (August) primary, it’s going to be hard for the Republican nominee to recover his public image for November.  I think Scott might just have the nomination in the bag, given all recent polling, and his path to the governorship will have to be in attacking Sink.

    Sink has run a weak campaign from what I’ve read, and I hope she can take advantage of this opportunity that has fallen into her lap like matta from the sky.  Pick some signature issue to run on, make herself likeable personally, run against Republican state leadership in light of the economy, and make sure she has the money she needs to get her message out.  If Sink can win this, it makes redistricting a whole new ballgame for us for the 2012 House races.

  9. Forgive me if I’m late to the party here and this has already been noted, but I didn’t see it:

    The Washington Times reported yesterday

    http://www.washingtontimes.com…

    that the RNC has discovered that it failed to report over $7 million in earlier (April and May) debt to the FEC, and are amending their filings as a result.

    Not sure whether that affects the total debt number for the current month or what…?  Anyway, it’s not good news for Michael Steele.  It looks like he was deliberately hiding some bills from the treasurer of his organization.
