New Data Proves Republicans In For Major Win In 2020

The National Republican Congressional Committee raised $140 million last year on the strength of a 115% growth in contributions from online donors as opposed to 2019, according to a memorandum.

The NRCC gathered $17.9 million in December and closed 2021 with $78.2 million to spend on midterm elections. House Republicans are targeting dozens of seats in their attempt to flip the five-seat Democratic majority and seat Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as speaker.

The House GOP campaign arm's memo outlining a spike in digital fundraising compared to the previous off-year (the year before the election year) indicates they are certain to have the resources.

"The NRCC's online fundraising outlook for 2022 is bright," the committee's memo announces.

Democratic Party entities, including the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, for years, enjoyed a benefit in digital fundraising over their Republican counterparts.

Though Republicans in recent years have started to tighten the gap, investing more money in online fundraising and digital fundraising tools. That includes the establishment in the 2020 election cycle of WinRed, an online conduit for donations that works similarly to the digital Democratic platform, ActBlue, around since the early 2000s.

The NRCC credits the progress on its end, at least in part, to Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the Committee chairman. In this cycle, Emmer led the NRCC to focus fundraising efforts on the online space, with the aim of boosting digital giving significantly. In the memo, the NRCC boasted that the strategy paid dividends.
