April party committee fundraising roundup

Bills, bills, bills. At SSP, one of our regular features was a roundup of the monthly fundraising numbers posted by the six major party committees. We were a bit slow on the draw for the April numbers, but here they are:

Committee	April Receipts	April Spent	Cash-on-Hand	CoH Change	Debt
DCCC	$4,012,723	$3,167,334	$5,534,665	$845,389	$7,333,333
NRCC	$4,066,750	$3,500,576	$9,601,957	$566,173	$7,500,000
DSCC	$2,832,447	$2,361,543	$6,004,250	$470,904	$4,354,667
NRSC	$3,433,484	$3,526,414	$1,389,371	-$92,930	$1,000,000
DNC	$14,034,515	$8,956,088	$14,804,916	$5,078,426	$15,353,930
RNC	$6,076,652	$4,283,233	$5,004,327	$1,793,419	$18,999,456
Total Dem	$20,879,685	$14,484,965	$26,343,831	$6,394,719	$27,041,931
Total GOP	$13,576,886	$11,310,223	$15,995,655	$2,266,662	$27,499,456

On the whole, Democratic fundraising has been pretty solid, with a big edge in total receipts and cash-on-hand (thanks to a blockbuster month from the DNC). Of particular interest are the Senate numbers; at this point in the 2010 election cycle, the NRSC was debt-free and had $2.7 million in the bank (as opposed to their cash-minus-debt tally of $400K at the end of April), while the DSCC had $2.6 million on-hand but $4.6 million in debt. The NRCC, though, is in stronger shape than they were two years ago, when their debt dwarfed their cash-on-hand by over a million bucks. (The benefits of wielding the Speaker's gavel, most likely.)
