The National Republican Congressional Committee edged out its Democratic counterpart during the month of October, bringing in $4.56 million in contributions to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's $4.18 million.
The NRCC's haul was a rebound from the previous month, when the DCCC outraised the GOP by nearly $3 million. The House Democrats' campaign committee also won the third fundraising quarter.

Last month marked the GOP House campaign arm's best off-year October since the Federal Election Commission began tracking records electronically in 1995. The NRCC also has more cash on hand, ending the month with $13.8 million to the DCCC's $9.81 million.
But despite Democrats' minority status in the House, the DCCC has still raised more total this year, bringing in $52.08 million to the NRCC's $48.73 million.
Both campaign committees have continued to pay down debt from the 2010 election cycle. The NRCC now carries only $500,000 in debt, compared to $1.33 million in debt for the DCCC. But that's down significantly from the $19.6 million in debt House Democrats were carrying at the beginning of this election cycle.
