Hundreds of thousands of dollars in Democratic National Committee funding increases will hit the bank accounts of state parties starting this month, injecting much-needed cash into state-level coffers.
The money is appreciated, Democratic leaders told NOTUS, but it just will not go very far.
The DNC will increase monthly payments to state parties by $5,000 for blue states and $10,000 for red states as part of the State Partnership Program the party announced in April. That brings monthly transfers to $17,500 for blue states and $22,500 for red states — the DNC’s largest month-to-month investment into state parties in history, totaling over $1 million per month.
