https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/19/gop-senate-rescue-midterms/The NRSC’s retreat came after months of touting record fundraising, topping $173 million so far this election cycle, according to Federal Election Commission disclosures. But the committee has burned through nearly all of it, with the NRSC’s cash on hand dwindling to $28.4 million by the end of June.
As of that month, the committee disclosed spending just $23 million on ads, with more than $21 million going into text messages and more than $12 million to American Express credit card payments, whose ultimate purpose isn’t clear from the filings. The committee also spent at least $13 million on consultants, $9 million on debt payments and more than $7.9 million renting mailing lists, campaign finance data show.
This is deeply shocking news for me, personally. Historically, when Rick Scott has been put in charge of large sums of other people's money, everything's been on the straight and narrow. Really out of left field.
