DSCC Outraises the NRSC in April

The latest numbers, per Roll Call (subscription required):

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is set to report that it raised $2.93 million in April and that it is now debt-free after beginning the cycle more than $4 million in the red.

The committee now has nearly $2.7 million in cash on hand.

Meanwhile, after beginning the 2010 cycle $11 million in the red, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee made a major push to pay off its debt in April. The DSCC paid down more than $6 million in debt last month and ended April with $4.58 million in debt.

The DSCC raised $3.1 million during April. As of April 30, the DSCC had $2.6 million in cash on hand.

The NRSC's April haul totaled $1.1 million more than what the committee raised in April 2007, but it is less than the nearly $5 million it raised in March.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee came into this cycle with significantly more debt on hand than the National Republican Senatorial Committee -- but I would imagine that few Democrats would begrudge the committee for this fact considering that the party picked up eight Senate seats in 2008. So even though the DSCC still has more debt than it has cash-on-hand at this juncture, while the NRSC has made its way into the black for the cycle, these numbers are actually fairly for the committee. And with the DSCC outraising the NRSC, even by a relatively narrow margin, the trajectory for the committee, as well as the party's hopes to grow its majority in the Senate more broadly, certainly looks good.
