In 2010, the last midterm election cycle, the group raised only $19 million during the same period, and it had only $40 million cash on hand by the end of June. This fundraising success has equipped the RGA with the resources it needs to aggressively defend its incumbent Republican governors and add to its majority this critical election year with 36 gubernatorial races, the group said in a press release. The Democratic Governors Association has not yet disclosed its fundraising tally for the second quarter, but that group was significantly outpaced by its GOP counterpart during the first three months of 2014, netting only $12.5 million to the RGA s $23.5 million. The strong fundraising should put a feather in the cap of the RGA s chairman, Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., who hailed the fundraising tally and projected confidence about the upcoming elections.
