The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has raised more than $100 million online in the 2018 election cycle — a massive haul that has helped fuel Democrats’ drive to retake the House majority.

The DCCC passed the nine-figure mark on Tuesday, one week out from Election Day, with an average donation of $19, according to a committee aide. The committee had raised $67 million online by this point in the 2016 election, its previous record year.

The digital total comprises about 40 percent of the $250 million the DCCC has raised for the 2018 election as of its latest Federal Election Commission report.

“The outpouring of support from grass-roots donors has allowed us to invest in over 80 races, fund an unprecedented $30 million base engagement and turnout campaign, and hold Republicans accountable every step of the way,” Julia Ager, the DCCC’s chief digital officer, said in a statement.
