Big Democratic Donors Form Alliance to Take Back House

https://politicalwire.com/2018/05/09/big-democratic-donors-form-alliance-to-take-back-house/

SNIP.........

“Major Democratic donors in New York have discreetly formed a new political alliance to raise roughly $10 million that would be injected into as many as two dozen key House battlegrounds in an effort to wrest control of Congress from Republicans,” the New York Times reports.

“Admission to be an official partner in what’s being called the House Victory Project comes with a $108,000 price tag. More than 80 people have each committed that sum, according to a half-dozen donors familiar with the group, whose existence has not previously been reported.”

“The $108,000 pledge allows each donor to effectively give the maximum $5,400 contribution to 20 different House candidates.”

..that money is going to the right places and being spent wisely and not just being funneled into Democratic "strategists" or "consultants".

Get out the vote.

Good, appealing TV ads.

Paying for the costs of get the candidates out in the streets.

Hopefully that's where it's going.
