Democrats Sitting on War Chest for Post-Labor Day Advertising

7/24/2014

Senate Democrats have amassed a large war chest and are ready to spend it to keep control of the Senate. 
Even with incumbents such as Sens. Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Mark Begich of Alaska already spending significantly on the airwaves, Democrats running for the party’s most endangered seats also continued to sit on significant war chests primed for a post-Labor Day advertising assault.
Recent fundraising reports show "numerous candidates eclipse $2 million raised, with several topping $3 million and one even reaching $4 million." 
Obama, despite low approval ratings, is still bringing in the dollars. With his help, "the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has brought in $25 million more than its GOP counterpart and held a $6.5 million cash-on-hand advantage at the end of June."
