Republican campaign committee has $31M to hold House

The House Republican campaign committee raised almost $10 million in March and has $31.2 million banked to defend the party's majority, according to financial reports filed Sunday.

The National Republican Congressional Committee's $21.2 million fundraising haul in January, February and March gave the group its best first-quarter showing since 2003. It also puts the committee roughly $8 million ahead of its fundraising at this point in 2012.

Still, the GOP committee faces a well-funded challenge from House Democrats, who amassed a $40 million fund.

Those fundraising updates -- like dozens of others due by midnight Sunday -- suggest that donors are starting to open their wallets for groups willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on federal races from coast to coast. The fundraising was fast approaching the $1 billion mark, fueled by donors on each side writing checks to committees and organizations in a show of just how politically divided the United States remains.

"This outstanding fundraising effort will enable the NRCC to stay on offense against House Democrats who continue to support Obamacare and failed leadership of (House Democratic leader) Nancy Pelosi," committee executive director Liesl Hickey said.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $10.3 million in March despite deep skepticism that Republicans can lose their majority in November. Its $40 million in savings puts it atop the fundraising contest among party-directed campaign committees and outpaced most three-month fundraising tallies released thus far from super political action committees, which can accept unlimited donations. Donations to party-run campaign committee are capped at $32,400.

"The DCCC has sustained a blistering fundraising pace this election cycle because Americans are sick and tired of a Republican Congress," Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who leads the Democrats' House campaign arm, said this past week.

Republicans outnumber Democrats by 34 seats in the 435-member House and there are three vacancies. Democrats face a steep climb to reclaim control for the first time since tea party-aligned candidates helped put the GOP back in power after the 2010 elections.

Democrats also had an advantage with their Senate committee. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee reported raising $8.1 million in March and saved $22 million. The National Republican Senatorial Committee reported raising almost $6.4 million in March and saving $15.9 million.

Republican candidates tout conservatism in District 3 race

Published: Sunday, April 20, 2014 at 4:45 p.m. Last Modified: Sunday, April 20, 2014 at 4:45 p.m.

In the Republican race to represent the 3rd Congressional District, it's become a question about who is more conservative, with 10-year incumbent Walter Jones and challenger Taylor Griffin both claiming they fit that bill.

"He (Jones) has voted more with Barack Obama than any other House Republican. For conservative Republican voters that's something that's concerning," said Griffin of New Bern, who has held a number of political jobs, including for former N.C. Sen. Jesse Helms and in the administration of former President George W. Bush. "What our message is, is we need a principled across-the-board conservative who is effective for accomplishing things for eastern North Carolina and that's what I offer."

But Jones said he was rated the most conservative congressman in the North Carolina congressional delegation in January by FreedomWorks, a conservative grassroots organization.

Jones said he also regularly receives endorsements from the National Rifle Association and conservative pro-life organizations. He said his opponent is using one article from National Journal to stake his claim that Jones is not conservative, and Jones said he received a low score by that publication because he doesn't believe in "policing the world."

Jones and Griffin face off in the May 6 GOP primary in a race that also includes retired Marine Albin "Big Al" Novenic, with the winner facing Democrat Marshall Adame in November.

Novinec says that although he has only raised $100 in campaign contributions from his mother-in-law that he's in this race for a fight to the finish.

"It's time to take back America," Novinec said. "We need representatives in Washington, D.C., who do what's right for us and not big business, lobbyists and even their parties."

Jones has raised $375,785 this campaign cycle; spent $316,220 and had $157,698 cash on hand at the end of the March 31 federal reporting period. Griffin has raised $224,250; spent $134,362 and finished the quarter March 31 with $97,392 cash on hand, according to his filing with the Federal Election Commission.

The 3rd District, expanded southward after the 2010 census to include portions of New Hanover and Pender counties, includes all or parts of 22 eastern North Carolina counties and stretches from Wilmington in the south all the way to the Virginia border.
