House Democrats Break Fundraising Record in September

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced on Friday that it raised $8.4 million in September, a record monthly haul for the committee.

The fundraising haul brings the DCCC’s total cash on hand to $21.6 million, double the amount of cash it had at the same point last year, according to a DCCC aide.

The government shutdown fueled a large portion of the committee’s fundraising this cycle, per the aide. About $2 million of the record-breaking haul came from online donations following GOP Sen. Ted Cruz’s filibuster.

The National Republican Congressional Committee has not released its September fundraising tally yet, according to an aide.

and things are really tight. OTOH, ridding us of the Thuglican menace is always money well spent.
