July 27, 2012

The National Republican Congressional Committee edged out the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in June fundraising, bringing in $10.7 million to $10.5 million for the DCCC. It is a switch from May, when the DCCC narrowly led the NRCC.

Offering Donors Secrecy, and Going on Attack
October 12, 2010

The American Future Fund, organized under a tax code provision that lets donors remain anonymous, is one of dozens of groups awash in money from hidden sources and spending it at an unprecedented rate, largely on behalf of Republicans.
