Republicans are sounding the alarm that they need to close the money gap with Democrats in the battle for state legislatures, calling the financial disparity this cycle
more significant than ever.
The Republican State Leadership Committee announced in a donor memo, first shared with POLITICO, that it increased its investment in state legislative races this year to $44 million. Thats up from its previously announced $38 million, which it said was its largest investment ever in these contests.
Despite the RSLCs historic $44 million investment in 2024, we will still be outpaced by the $175 million the [Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee], the States Project, and Forward Majority PAC have pledged to spend alone, RSLC President Dee Duncan wrote in the memo.
Since the three aforementioned national liberal outside groups have already combined to spend at least $69 million of traceable money across the country, that means they are on the road to dump at least another $100 million into key races between now and November," the memo says.
The memo references a recent plea from the RSLCs Democratic counterpart, the DLCC, saying that it needs to raise millions of dollars to close the gap for its $60 million election budget.

(60,396 posts)Maybe repubs pushing Roe v Wade "back to the states" motivated donors to put more money into flipping those states that will force abortion legalization at the state levels.
Makes one think, eh?
