Harris, DNC share $25 million with down-ballot Democrats

The Harris campaign and Democratic National Committee are sending nearly $25 million to help Democrats in down-ballot races.

The campaign said $10 million will go to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which supports those running for the House; $10 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee; $2.5 million to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, which helps elect Democrats to state legislatures, and $1 million each to the Democratic Governors Association and the Democratic Attorneys General Association.

“If we want a future where every American’s rights are protected, not taken away; where the middle class is strengthened, not hollowed out; and a country where our democracy is preserved, not ripped apart, every race this November matters,” Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement.

“The Vice President believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity,” she said.

The Harris campaign has been raking in the dough since its inception in July. The campaign announced last month that it raised $540 million over six weeks.

There are vulnerable congressional seats in several swing states, including Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Montana.

Democrats currently hold a slim majority in the Senate, and are only slightly behind total Republican seats in the House.

Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said the money allows Senate Democrats to “reach more voters, increase the strength of our campaigns and ensure Democrats protect our Senate majority.”
