The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has outraised the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee for a second straight month, posting their best February haul ever, but still holding on to $17.3 million in debt.
The DCCC announced Friday they raised $5.2 million in February, bringing in $800,000 more than they did in January and edging out the NRCC's $4.9 million February total. Their latest cash influx gives them $5.9 million cash on hand -- $1.6 million more than the $4.3 million the NRCC has in the bank.
"The NRCC and the Republican majority are off to a rocky start under Chairman Pete Sessions and Speaker John Boehner," said DCCC deputy executive director Jennifer Crider.
The DCCC still has a substantial $17.3 million in debt after last year's elections, but they paid down $1.3 million of that in the past month. The NRCC still has $9.5 million in debt after paying down $1 million in February.
In January, the DCCC outraised the NRCC by $1.4 million, raising $4.4 million to their Republican counterpart's $3 million.
