The National Republican Congressional Committee ended May with double the cash on hand as their Democratic counterparts. According to monthly reports filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday, the NRCC closed the month with $10.6 million in the bank, compared to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's $5.3 million.
The NRCC also outraised the DCCC for a third consecutive month, pulling in $4.6 million during May, while the DCCC raised $3.8 million. In April, both committees raised roughly $4 million.

The DCCC has less debt recorded than the NRCC -- $6.6 million in the red, compared to the NRCC's $7 million. The DCCC paid down $666,000 of its debt last month, while the NRCC paid off $500,000.
But the Democrats' House campaign arm has a narrow fundraising edge for the whole year, bringing in $27.4 million so far this cycle, while the GOP committee has raised $26.8 million.
