NRCC Outraises DCCC In April

The NRCC raised $2M more than the DCCC did in April, raising $7.1M to the DCCC's $5.1M and closing a fundraising gap that has plagued the GOP for months.

While the DCCC still retains a significant advantage in cash on hand with its $27.3M to the NRCC's $11.4M, House GOPers' cash intake has been on the rise as their prospects improve, despite a disappointing finish in the special election in PA-12 on Tuesday.

And while Dems have made much of their cash advantage, that advantage is actually significantly smaller than it was during the '08 cycle. After April '08, Dems enjoyed a nearly $38M advantage; now, that edge is $15.9M.

Both committees are debt-free heading into the general election.
