Last week, the national organization dedicated to electing Republicans to state offices announced that it was committing $2 million to Republicans in the Virginia House of Delegates to use toward taking back the House majority. What will that Republican State Leadership Committee money do, and will it be enough to help overcome Democrats’ already substantial fundraising lead?
According to the Virginia Public Access Project, Republicans raised roughly $2.2 million less than Democrats for House races in the first quarter of the year.
The Daily Signal spoke to Republican Party chair state Sen. Mark Peake, who told us that the state party was hoping to use that money to target three or four seats that it hopes to flip from the Democrats based on President Donald Trump’s electoral performance in 2024.
However, Republicans are also faced with a Democratic Party campaign to flip 12 House seats to them, meaning Republicans will need to “play defense” for those seats, which will also cost a good deal of that money.
