NRCC online fundraising skyrockets as GOP builds 2022 war chest

The National Republican Congressional Committee raised $140 million last year on the strength of a 115% increase in contributions from online donors compared to 2019, according to a memorandum shared with the Washington Examiner.

The NRCC collected $17.9 million in December and closed 2021 with $78.2 million to spend on midterm elections. House Republicans are targeting dozens of seats in their bid to flip the five-seat Democratic majority and install Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as speaker. The memo from the House GOP campaign arm, detailing a spike in digital fundraising compared to the previous off year (the year before the election year) suggests they are certain to have the resources.
