Political action committees providing additional funding to Republican congressional candidates entered the stretch run of the 2024 election season with a slight cash-on-hand advantage over opposing PACs backing Democratic candidates.

Between July 15 and July 20, four funds unofficially boosting the campaigns of Democratic and Republican candidates running for the House and Senate issued quarterly and monthly statements with the Federal Election Commission. Those forms showed conservative-leaning funds outraised liberal PACs and headed into July with about $15 million more in the bank.
