Does fund raising really mean anything??

The committee charged with helping Republicans wrest control of the House next year raised $45.4 million over the last three months, a record quarterly haul during a year without a national election.

That total was bolstered by $20.1 million raised in June, the highest ever monthly off-year total. The fundraising numbers were shared with The Associated Press before a public filing deadline.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee last week announced that it had raised $14.4 million in June, bringing its second-quarter total to $36.5 million — its best ever for that stretch.

1. We have a four seat buffer.

Hopefully we will expand that big time. The thing that is so impressive is that every democratic house member has been very together in all votes. Only a few have had any “no’s” at all

2. Beats me

But one thing I also read from the article - two representatives, Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise, were responsible for $11 million of that Republican money - they transferred it from their campaign accounts. So it really may not have been "raised" during that quarter at all.
