Where do I find DCCC Totals?

by Alex, Tue Nov 21, 2006 at 02:37:41 PM EST

Is there a convenient list somewhere on the web of total independent expenditures on each race by the DCCC? I'm trying to compile an improved version of my list of narrowly defeated candidates who ought to run again, and who the netroots should support and lobby the new DCCC chair (when one is chosen) to support. One of the criteria I want to include is whether they had major DCCC support -- Tammy Duckworth, for example, probably shouldn't run again, considering the amount poured into her unsuccessful campaign. I looked at opensecrets.org, but they don't have DCCC expenditures broken down by race, only by states and major metropolitan areas.

The Fedwral Election Commission posts totals at fec.gov for all"independent" expenditures. Use the totals by candidate and committee. Please note that you may want to look in two places for each race as ads "against" a candidate are listed under the candidate attacked (e.g. Republican ads against Claire MCCaskill show under McCaskill but Democratic ads against Jim Talent would show up under Talent.

btw, this also lists other friendly sources like unions, the Sierra Club, etc.

charts (3.00 / 0)

All the charts are here. I think the one you'll want -- sorted by committee, then candidate, is this one, which you can also get as a spreadsheet by changing the file extension to XLS.

Thank you! (none / 0)

Actually, the one sorted by race works best for me, since the table I'm working with is already organized that way.

Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama for President! Beat McCain!
