The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) raised $13.2 million in March, closing out the first fundraising quarter with a record $31 million in donations.
The DCCC’s fundraising haul, provided first to The Hill, trails the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) March and first-quarter hauls. The NRCC raised $15.5 million in March and ended the first three months of the year with nearly $36 million in contributions.
