DCCC Fundraising Totaled $61 Million in 2011

The political committee representing House Democrats said it has raised more than $61 million last year, giving the group a stronger financial footing heading into the November election.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's fundraising blitz leaves it with $11.6 million in cash on hand, helping to extinguish the debt the group carried through late last year.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, the Democrats' House counterpart, said it has about $15 million cash on hand.
