For 22 consecutive quarters, Frontline no corporate PAC Democrats outraised their Frontline colleagues who take corporate PAC money
Second quarter fundraising numbers for 2024 marks yet another strong quarter for Democrats refusing corporate PAC money. According to FEC reports, Frontline members who reject corporate PAC money in battleground districts––the most competitive races in the country––outraised their colleagues who accept corporate PAC money by an average of $92,966. They also ended the quarter with an average of $537,720 more cash on hand.
This milestone marks the 22nd consecutive quarter of no corporate PAC Frontliners outraising their colleagues, proving once again that the conventional wisdom in Washington is wrong. Rejecting corporate PAC money is good policy and good politics––and is not a financial barrier to running a competitive campaign.
