House Democrats campaign arm announced Thursday it raised $20 million online so far in 2017, shattering its previous fundraising haul from the last off-year.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raised $20 million in the first several months of the year, which is more than the committee raised in the entirety of 2015. That year, House Democrats raised $19.7 million.
In 2017, the DCCC said the average contribution was $18 and that 2.2 million people have joined the grassroots list since the beginning of the year, with 156,000 first-time donors.
House Democrats fundraising comes as the party looks ahead to the 2018 midterm elections and hopes for some major upsets in the upcoming Montana and Georgia special elections.

I'm greedy that way.
