...in that number is the funds in the treasuries of many candidates, which greatly outweighs that number.

About a dozen, or more, Senators have millions of dollars in surplus, and many Representatives have large surpluses, too.

In many cases candidates contribute to those committees (either DCCC or DNC, etc.) to make up for their shortfalls.
