The Democratic National Committee raised $5.7 million last month, the lowest amount raised in a November in 10 years, according to new Federal Election Commission data.
Since 2008, the DNC has raised at least $5.9 million per year. Odd-numbered years are usually far lower than even-numbered years, but still, it was the lowest November fundraising total since 2007, when the DNC received only $4.4 million.
November fundraising for the DNC looks like this:
2017: $5.7M
2016:
$104.6M
2015:
$6.5M
2014:
$11.8M
2013:
$6.1M
2012:
$22.0M
2011:
$6.7M
2010:
$26.1M
2009:
$5.9M
2008:
$48.4M
2007:
$4.4M
The DNC has raised $60.7 million since January 1 and has $6.3 million cash on hand as well as $2.6 million in debt.
The Democratic organization has posted low fundraising numbers all year. DNC Chairman Tom Perez has defended the organization’s low numbers in the spring by saying he hadn’t taken over yet.
“Well, I got there on March 1st,” Perez told NBC News reporter Hallie Jackson about the April report.
