Paul Ryan is proving very popular among GOP donors

Not even two years into his tenure, House Speaker Paul Ryan is shattering fundraising records—and proving that he can do so while honoring his pledge to spend almost every weekend back home in Wisconsin.

Ryan challenged House Republicans to help the National Republican Congressional Committee by pledging to match whatever amount they collectively raised in March. The conference responded. At month’s end Ryan transferred $7 million from his personal campaign war chest and leadership political action committee to House Republicans’ political arm, according to information provided to the Washington Examiner by “Team Ryan,” the speaker’s fundraising apparatus.
