Frontline no corporate PAC Democrats outraised their Frontline colleagues who take corporate PAC money for 21st straight quarter and kick off the on-year in stronger financial position
First quarter fundraising numbers for 2024 are in and it marks another success quarter for Democrats rejecting corporate PAC money.

This marks the 21st consecutive quarter of no corporate PAC Frontliners outraising their colleagues, proving once again that rejecting corporate PAC money galvanizes grassroots support and is not a financial barrier to winning.
