The article titled "Senate Republican's campaign arm says it's raised record $15.5M in Sept., no word on savings" discusses how the Republican senators campaign has bounced back from previous low months of funding to receive four times the average amount in the month of September. The National Republican Senatorial Committee declined to comment on how much money they have spent in their campaign, but they will have to release these details by October 20. Senate Republicans feel optimistic that this boost of confidence is a sign that they will pick up the 6 seats needed to have a majority of Republicans in the Senate.
These statistics might have a huge impact on the outcome of the upcoming elections. This may be one of the first months that the Republican Committee raises more than the Democrats, but it is happening at a very crucial time. After Republicans failed to win the majority in the senate and the presidency, donors are most likely wanting to contribute even more this year.
In my opinion, raising money is very important to the success of a campaign. However, the politicians themselves will be the ones who ultimately determine who the voters will choose.

I had no idea that the Democratic Committee generally raises more money than the Republican.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is kind of sad that money is so essential to who wins a political rac . That's isn't how it should be. The person who best represents your values and Ideas should get your vote but in reality it is whoever has the best campaign or the most money to get their name out there.
