NRCC catches DCCC as online fundraising skyrockets 400%

Online contributions to the National Republican Congressional Committee spiked more than 400% in two years, erasing the critical, grassroots fundraising advantage House Democrats have enjoyed for several years, just as the 2022 battle for Congress heats up.

The first quarter of this year saw the NRCC surpass the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the first time in contributions from grassroots donors who give in small amounts online. The House Republican campaign arm outpaced the DCCC on this front by $1.7 million. Second-quarter comparisons were not yet available — but the NRCC boasted total online contributions for the period of $14.1 million, a 325% jump over what it raised two years ago.
