The DSCC raised $7.2 million in May, outraising the NRSC by $1.9 million despite being in the minority. The DSCC has outraised the NRSC in the first five months of 2016, and in 15 of the last 17 months. The DSCC increased its cash on hand to $23.8 million and has no operational debt.
Statement from Executive Director Tom Lopach: “We are incredibly grateful to our supporters across the country who have propelled the DSCC to yet another outstanding fundraising month. As Republicans fall in line behind Donald Trump and his toxic and dangerous rhetoric, our continued fundraising success shows that voters want a change from the Republican majority’s reckless and obstructionist governance. We are thankful to have the resources necessary to win back the majority in November and get the Senate back to working for middle class families.”
