The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) said on Tuesday it raised $36.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, making its strongest first quarter of an off-election year in its history.
The first haul included $21.5 million in March alone, which the committee said marked its best off year month and highest March total in its history. The group enters the second quarter with $23.9 million in the bank.
The committee’s March haul shows a massive improvement from January and February when the NRCC only raised $5.9 million and $9.2 million.
“The NRCC is on offense and fueled by unstoppable momentum and widespread support,” the committee’s spokesperson Mike Marinella said in a statement.
The Republican campaign arm’s first quarter haul is the latest in a series of massive hauls from House GOP leadership. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) raised $32.2 million, marking his largest quarterly fundraising total. Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) raked in $10 million during the period and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) raked in $12 million.
Last week, the group’s chair Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) announced the NRCC raised $35.2 million ahead of its fundraising dinner with President Trump.
“We have to raise enough money to keep up with the Democrats and make sure that our candidates can get their message out,” NRCC Chair Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) told Fox News last week before the dinner, noting that Democrats tend to “hold a structural advantage when it comes to fundraising.”
As of Tuesday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) had ot yet released its first quarter haul. The DCCC outraised the NRCC last month by $1.9 million.
