Hillary Clinton Raised $36 Million in April for Hillary For America, DNC and State Parties

[brooklynite]

Hillary Clinton raised about $26.4 million in primary funds for Hillary for America and more than $9.5 million for the DNC and state parties across the country through the Hillary Victory Fund. Clinton has now raised $213.5 million in primary funds for the campaign and more than $46 million for the DNC and state parties through the HVF. HFA enters May in strong financial shape with about $30 million on hand.

Funds raised through the Hillary Victory Fund are now being used to fund and staff organizing programs in states across the country that will register voters, recruit volunteers and organize Democrats to turn out and support candidates up and down the ballot. The coordinated campaigns are being run by the DNC and state parties and will coordinate with local, state and federal Democratic campaigns to work to elect progressives across the country.

"Thanks to 1.2 million people across the country we have the resources we need to continue to run a winning primary campaign while preparing for the general election," said Hillary for America Campaign Manager Robby Mook. "Hillary Clinton has always made it a priority to help Democrats up and down the ballot which is why we are proud to be helping to fund the coordinated campaign that will make up the heart of the Democratic organizing efforts for local, state and federal candidates this fall."

10. Clinton fundraising leaves little for state parties

In the days before Hillary Clinton launched an unprecedented big-money fundraising vehicle with state parties last summer, she vowed “to rebuild our party from the ground up,” proclaiming “when our state parties are strong, we win. That’s what will happen."

But less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised by that effort has stayed in the state parties’ coffers, according to a POLITICO analysis of the latest Federal Election Commission filings.

The venture, the Hillary Victory Fund, is a so-called joint fundraising committee comprised of Clinton’s presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and 32 state party committees. The set-up allows Clinton to solicit checks of $350,000 or more from her super-rich supporters at extravagant fundraisers including a dinner at George Clooney’s house and at a concert at Radio City Music Hall featuring Katy Perry and Elton John.

The victory fund has transferred $3.8 million to the state parties, but almost all of that cash ($3.3 million, or 88 percent) was quickly transferred to the DNC, usually within a day or two, by the Clinton staffer who controls the committee, POLITICO’s analysis of the FEC records found.
