NRCC Has More Cash, Less Debt Than DCCC

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has more cash on hand than the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and less debt, figures through August show.

The NRCC has $11.7 million cash on hand and $2.5 million of debt, compared with the DCCC’s $7.8 million of cash and $3.3 million of debt.

But the DCCC raised more in contributions than the NRCC last month — $3.6 million to $3 million. And the DCCC has drawn slightly more money for the first eight months of the year — $41.3 million to the NRCC’s $40.4 million, The Hill reports.

As the campaign heats up, growth of outside PACs may make the party campaign committees less important than in the past.
