CITIZENS FOR AN UNDIVIDED AMERICA: Swing district Democrats build on cash advantage amid impeachment push

S

Citizens for an undivided america issued the following announcement on Oct 17.

National Republicans see impeachment as self-destructive for House Democrats running in swing districts. But some of those frontline members are using impeachment to cash in with donors as House Democrats approach 2020 with far more money than Republicans. Of the 17 House Democrats in races rated as toss-up by the Cook Political Report, 11 have thrown their support behind an impeachment inquiry. Those members, all of whom represent districts carried by President Donald Trump in 2016, have had no issues bringing in cash. These pro-impeachment freshmen have so far raised an average of nearly $1.7 million through the end of September, based on reports filed Tuesday. That’s far more than the average House member’s haul of about $787,500. They haven’t had to splurge to get there, holding an average of $1.3 million cash on hand.
