The National Republican Congressional Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee both raised about $4.5 million last month, but the Dems spent less, giving them another chance to add to their lead over the GOP in funding for House races, according to CQ Politics. We reported last month about the continuing dominance of the Democrats in fundraising for House races. The Dems spent $2.3 million and ended with $11.5 million cash on hand while the GOP spent $4.3 million, leaving them with $1.8 million cash. The Republicans also have slightly more debt.

The Republican National Committee, with $6.8 million in contributions, continued to out-raise the Democrats, however, who brought in $4.9 million, according to another report in CQ Politics. The RNC has been the exception to the general GOP slump since the transfer of power in the last election. The committee has now raised $39.8 million, over 60 percent more than the Dems' $24.7 million. Their lead in cash on hand is even more impressive: $15 million with no debt compared to $5.5 million and a $2.5 million debt for Democrats.
