Swing-district House Republicans kept up with or surpassed Democrats in fundraising for 2022

House Republicans in swing districts kept up with or surpassed House Democrats in fundraising in the second quarter — a sign that 2022 could be a competitive and expensive year for both as they fight for control of Congress in the midterm elections. 

Republicans need just seven more seats — five if the currently vacant seats are held by the party — to flip the House to GOP control.  Of the 22 House Republicans targeted by the Democrat House campaign arm, as well as those that flipped seats in 2020, members raised an average of $551,923 from April to June and have an average of $751,734 in cash on hand.
