Emmer raises $34 million in 2024 cycle to defend GOP House majority – Washington Examiner
Tom Emmer, the House Majority Whip, has significantly boosted his fundraising efforts, raising an impressive $34 million during the 2024 election cycle. This figure represents more than a fourfold increase compared to the $8 million he raised as Chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) in the 2022 midterms, marking a 325% rise. Emmer transferred over $14 million from this total to the NRCC and Republican candidates. His extensive fundraising campaign included traveling to 62 cities across 17 states in October, supporting 54 different House Republican candidates in competitive districts. Emmer’s efforts are aimed at maintaining and potentially growing the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, while also expressing strong opposition to Democratic policies, particularly those associated with Vice President Kamala Harris.
