RSLC, SGLF Record Largest Ever First Quarter Fundraising Haul
WASHINGTON, D.C. –– The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) and its strategic policy partner, the State Government Leadership Foundation (SGLF), combined for their best ever first quarter fundraising haul, raising $12 million from January through March of 2024. Thanks to this record-breaking achievement, the groups have now combined to raise $47 million so far this cycle, outpacing what they brought in at this point in the 2021-2022 cycle by $6.2 million.
“This record-breaking fundraising quarter is a testament to the strength of the RSLC heading into a pivotal 2024 election year and speaks to the desires of Americans nationwide who want Republican-led state leadership to serve as the last line of defense against the disastrous policies coming out of Washington,” said RSLC President Dee Duncan. “However, we know that our fundraising haul pales in comparison to what the Democrats plan to spend between now and November. We saw it in 2022 when the DLCC, the States Project, and Forward Majority combined to spend over $120 million to our $38 million investment, and again in 2023 in Virginia when our entire cycle spend was matched and surpassed during the final weeks of the election. With the DLCC committed to spend $60 million this cycle, Forward Majority committed to spending $25 million, and even more money pouring in from the States Project, this will be the largest uphill battle the RSLC has faced to date, but we are battle tested and ready for the fight.”
The RSLC’s digital fundraising program is continuing to gain momentum. To date the committee has raised nearly seven million this cycle. Other notable statistics for the digital program during the most recent fundraising period:
Total raised online: $1.7 million
New online donors: 9,000
Average online donation: $22.20
The RSLC will need to continue its historic fundraising in the coming months in order to fund all the initiatives the committee will engage in this cycle.
