| The Democratic Governors Association announced today that the committee brought in another record amount in the third quarter, fueled by explosive growth in contributions from grassroots donors. Joining impressive fundraising by other Democratic committees, the DGA raised $10 million in the third quarter, its third consecutive record-breaking quarter.
The DGA is now on pace to spend triple what it spent in the last equivalent election cycle. With less than five weeks to go, the DGA has a record $13 million on hand. Just as importantly, independent groups that the DGA supports - such as Lone Star First in Texas, Building a Stronger Ohio and Bay State Future in Massachusetts- have an additional $3 million on hand. The DGA spent just shy of $14 million on all the races in 2006.
Why is this important for Texas?
The DGA has already invested tens of millions of dollars in the most important states up for grabs in 2010 and will make sure states such as Florida, Georgia, Minnesota and Texas - to name just a few pickup opportunities - have the necessary resources to compete to the end.
It's nice to be on the receiving end of our national committees for once. |
