NEW: New York Democrats flex fundraising strength in House races [POLITICO]

POLITICO : "Democratic challengers like Jones, Gillen and Riley have been outraising GOP incumbents for multiple consecutive quarters, proving, their campaigns said, that the seats are ripe for flipping."

A new report in POLITICO highlights how DCCC Red to Blue and Frontline candidates are posting huge Q2 fundraising totals that are utterly dwarfing their Republican opponents.

Across the Empire State, New Yorkers are increasingly fed up with with New York Republicans consistently siding with the MAGA movement as they push their radical agenda at the expense of working families - from raising taxes on the middle class to pushing for a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the woman's life.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"New York Republicans are losing the cash dash by an embarrassing amount because voters and grassroots donors across the Empire State are increasingly fed up with their blatantly extreme efforts to restrict abortion, play politics with the border, and defund law enforcement. New York Democrats will win this November because of their unique strengths, fundraising prowess, and dedication to delivering for their local communities, no matter how hard Republicans attempt to spin otherwise."
