The influx of money _ largely from political action committees _ gives Republicans a slight advantage more than two months before the November elections. Democrats hope to gain 15 seats to seize control of the House.
The NRCC has raised $70 million so far and has $34.1 million in the bank. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $4.2 million in July, taking the group's total to $81 million this cycle and $33 million cash on hand.
"Our phenomenal fundraising in July is the product of our members' hard work and the support of Americans who want leaders with a record of accomplishment and a positive vision moving forward," Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement. "It stands in sharp contrast to the Democrats, who spent the month of July raising dollars by exploiting the deaths of U.S. soldiers."

I challenge the Kane County Republicans and the Aurora Township Republicans to get off their butts and help Bob Mitchell! The guy is going door-to-door and doing all the right things. This seat is very winnable because Linda Chapa-Lavia's base is growing tired of her song and dance. Did anyone catch her foot in the mouth at her recent town hall meeting when she said she didn't know her community? That should be a campaign issue!
