Kevin McCarthy super PAC amasses $61 million war chest

The super PAC aligned with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy entered 2022 with $61.2 million in the bank to spend on sinking the Democratic Party’s thin, five-seat majority.

The Congressional Leadership Fund boasted record fundraising for an off year, announcing Wednesday that a haul of $65.5 million in 2021 enabled the super PAC to more than double the $28 million war chest it amassed in 2019. But the $61.2 million in cash on hand reported by the Congressional Leadership Fund is being bolstered by additional resources from the American Action Network, a political nonprofit organization affiliated with McCarthy’s super PAC.
