Grassroots Dems Are Breaking Fundraising Records. They Say It’s Still Not Enough.

The strategists responsible for electing Democrats to statehouses keep breaking fundraising records. But that doesn’t mean they’re satisfied.

The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee and affiliated groups brought in $6.9 million in the first three months of the year, a historic first-quarter sum for the group in charge of electing Democrats to statehouses, according to information first shared with The Daily Beast. In total, the committee has now raised $28 million for the 2024 election, nearly half of its $60 million target. Still, that number pales in comparison to the money going into federal races, and the DLCC wants donors to know it.

“For a fraction of the billions of dollars being spent at the top of the ticket, we can fundamentally shift the balance of power in this country by building and expanding Democratic majorities at the state level,” DLCC President Heather Williams said in a statement. “Investments in this ballot level this year will determine the future of fundamental freedoms for millions of Americans.”
