5 Republican House Candidates Who Are Outraising Democrat Members Of Congress

October 16, 2013

Republican candidates, across the country, are working hard to bring their message of economic freedom and dismantling ObamaCare to Washington.

Democrats, backed by President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and special interests, stand ready to take us back to the days where President Obama had complete liberal control of Washington. Flawed plans, like the stimulus and ObamaCare, that hurt the economy and stunted job growth were made law. While cap and trade came within just a few votes of raising energy taxes on millions of consumers.

That is why it is so crucial we enlarge our Republican majority. But we cannot defeat these entrenched and out-of-touch Democrats without the help of grassroots support.

This third quarter of fundraising was a crucial test for many Republican candidates across the country.

What’s even more impressive is that not only did candidates keep pace with their Democrat counterparts–some even outraised them in resounding fashion.

Here now are 5 Republican House candidates outraising Democrat incumbents:

 

1. Stewart Mills (MN-08)
