House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has had little success in getting
rank-and-file congressmen to contribute to the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee.
The congressmen are assessed dues by the DCCC, which they pay
out of their campaign funds, based on seniority and campaign assignments. But as
of June 30, about one-third of the Democratic caucus – 64 congressmen – hadn’t
given a lick, according to a party document obtained
by Politico. That reluctance comes despite Pelosi's plea last month for
donations.
Money matters a great deal as Democrats seek to regain control
of the House and maintain control of the Senate. But in June, Republican
congressmen gave almost $6.4 million to the National Republican Congressional
Committee while their Democratic counterparts gave only $1.8 million to the
DCCC.
