RNC RAISES $8.7 MILLION IN SEPTEMBER
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced its fundraising numbers for September 2009.
The RNC raised $8.74 million in the month of September and has $18.9 million cash-on-hand and $0 debt. The RNC averaged 2,400 new donors per day in September, an off-year record and an increase of about 2000 new donors per day since February. The average donor contribution in September was $36.
“It goes without saying that we have been working hard to establish a new brand for the RNC. From giving a voice to the frustrations of many Americans over the president’s health care experiment, to the launch of our new web platform, our efforts have resulted in record breaking fundraising numbers for September which continues an extremely strong trend for us since February. It is clear that the Republican message of lower taxes, less spending and common sense health care reform resonates with working families and small businesses alarmed by the course the president and Congressional Democrats have taken. As we move closer to the elections this fall and in 2010, these funds will enable the RNC to provide Republican candidates throughout the country the financial resources needed to help ensure victory on election day,” said RNC chairman Michael Steele.
