The Democratic National Committee raised $8.5 million for the month of June, an increase of $1.7 million more than what it raised in May, according to a new FEC filing.
The filing shows the DNC spent $7.5 million in June, including $221,000 on catering, $106,000 on “event production & site rentals,” $61,000 on “event decorations,” $50,000 on “event consulting,” and $19,000 on security. The DNC finished the month with $9.3 million cash on hand.
The Democratic presidential debates were held last month in Miami, but the filing does not identify any specific amounts of money designated toward the first round of primary debates.
The Republican National Committee has not announced its June earnings yet but ended May with a whopping $37 million cash on hand.
