Outside Groups Have Raised Nearly $1 Billion

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is sitting on one of the largest bank accounts in politics, both among party-linked campaign committees and outside groups. Among party-backed groups that have disclosed their fundraising, the closest rival is the Democrats’ Senate committee, sitting on $22 million at the end of March… House Republicans’ committee ended February with almost $24.8 million banked,” the Miami Herald reports.

“But party-aligned committees are just one piece of the political money puzzle that is already approaching the $1 billion mark — completely independent of candidates whose names are on the ballots.”
