WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund announced it raised more than $1.45 million in Q1, raising more than $1 million directly into the PAC and more than $450,000 directly for NewDem Members, more than doubling the organization’s fundraising from this point in the last cycle. NewDems recently launched the Action Fund’s first-ever National Finance Team, led by Reps. Marc Veasey and Mikie Sherrill, who have been traveling the country and engaging in an aggressive fundraising campaign.
In the 2024 cycle, NewDems set an ambitious goal of doubling their fundraising efforts to take back the House. Under the leadership of New Democrat Coalition Chair Rep. Annie Kuster and NewDem Action Fund Honorary Chair Rep. Ami Bera, NewDems are positioned to be a key player in battleground races across the country. The Action Fund will marshal the resources needed to defend NewDem Members and elect NewDem endorsed candidates to retake the House majority in 2024.
“NewDems are working tirelessly to ensure our incumbents and candidates have the resources they need to keep and flip key seats across the country,” said NewDem Action Fund Finance Chair Marc Veasey. “Republicans have a slim majority and with our ambitious fundraising plan, NewDems will be key to taking back the House.”
“NewDems know how to win tough races and with our strong fundraising in the first three months of the year, we have proven once again that we have what it takes to compete,” said NewDem Action Fund Finance Vice Chair Mikie Sherrill. “Right out of the gate we have shown NewDems have a strong base of support and we will continue to build on this momentum in the months ahead.”
