After briefly losing the crown to DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney, #CA26's Julia Brownley re-takes the top spot among Dem candidates that colleagues seem to believe are most in need of rescuing.
21 candidate committees and leadership PACs have contributed in the last few days.
Missed this, but the EMILY's List-affiliated Women Vote! came in with $537K in ads hitting Republican @MattJacobsCA to prevent an upset against #CA26's @RepBrownley, who remains the top recipient of Dem member/leadership PAC money in the final stretch.
The GOP's Congressional Leadership Fund concludes tonight's filing dump, dropping $24.9 million in 39 races, bringing its general election IE spending to $175,411,754, more than the $173,430,579 spent by the Democratic House Majority PAC and the DCCC combined.
Lincoln Project raised another $1.3M in the 1st 19 days of October, burned $848.1K on operating expenditures, $464K on political independent expenditures (mostly against #resist lib bait GOP electeds in non-competitive races), and ended with $1.9M on hand.
Big winners:
Lever Communications (Joe Trippi) $263.6K
Summit Strategic (Reed Galen) $72K
Intrepid Media (Rick Wilson) $50K
Message Mountain (Stu Stevens) $42.5K
The Lincoln Project's legal fees and crisis PR expenditures continue to decline, with the group only having to shell out $25K in legal payouts and $22K in legal services fees in the first 19 days of October.
The NRSC raised $15.5M between 10/1-10/19 (adding $7M more in loans, totaling $20M now), spent $7.22M on operating expenditures, $548.5K on IEs, $2.28M in coordinated buys, $4.46M in transfers and had $13.7M on hand on 10/19.
And now the DSCC's filing--$37M raised in the 1st 19 days of October, chiefly from a $20M loan on the 17th.
It burned $16.67M on IEs, $10.7M on operating expenditures, $1.7M on coordinated buys, and transferred $6.9M, ending with $34.1M on hand.
Next up, the NRCC raised $4.8M in the first 19 days of October, burned through $39.2M, and had $57.9M remaining on the 19th for the home stretch.
Wow...Center Street PAC finally got around to filing its third quarter FEC report, disclosing receipts of $630.8K and expenditures of six dollars and ninety cents, indicating that they seriously overpaid for their polls.
There's the spending boom I was waiting for...the NRCC drops $19.27 million on 31 House races, pulling ahead of its 2020 pace and adding the Biden +20% #PA12 to the board as targeted seat #64, backing Mike Doyle for retiring 14-term Dem Mike Doyle's seat.
