DNC to Contribute $1 Million to State Parties Every Month

by

Each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) will provide $1 million every month over the next four years to state parties across the country as part of its “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy.

DNC Chair Ken Martin said on Thursday this is “the DNC’s largest investment in our state parties in our history,” in a video statement on social media platform X.
Martin said it’s part of the Democrats’ new four-year agreement to build up state-level infrastructure and operations and deliver more resources into organizing and winning elections.

“All of this means more investments in staff, better data and tech, stronger organizing programs, and more so we can compete and win in Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania this fall and races across the country in the months and years to come,” the DNC chair said.

The monthly one-million dollars will be transferred from the DNC to state parties under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement.

Each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month. That marks a $5,000 per month increase from the last agreement for blue and purple states.

Martin said that the DNC will invest more in red states. Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month.

The strategy is a “game changer,” according to former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison.

“We are about to witness the true magic and progress that can be made by an unencumbered DNC,” Harrison wrote on X. “Never again should any DNC have to run every ‘party’ decision by a staffer at the White House.”

The DNC said it will also make significant investments in the technology used by the Democratic Party, which includes improving the national voter file and giving state parties best-in-class tools to leverage the data.

The latest effort is a partnership between the DNC and the Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC).

Jane Kleeb, ASDC president, said that the additional funds will build up party infrastructure and boost Democrat candidates in competitive races.

“State parties are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and through this investment, our state parties will receive the support they need to show voters that, no matter where they live, there is a strong Democratic Party in their corner, protecting their rights and economic opportunity,” Kleeb said in a statement.

The DNC’s new agreement also includes hosting six regional training “bootcamps” for state parties per two-year cycle and the hiring of more ASDC staff.

Meanwhile, Michael Whatley, chair of the Republican National Committee, said that Democrats’ big investment in races doesn’t necessarily translate into winning those contests.

Whatley noted that Democrats poured more money into the April 1 special election for Florida’s 6th congressional seat, but they failed to flip the district blue. According to the Federal Election Commission, the winner, Republican Randy Fine, spent around $2 million on his campaign, while his opponent Josh Weil spent more than $13 million.
This “shows yet again that voters support President Trump and want members of Congress who will back his agenda,” Whatley said in a post on X.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said in an interview with The Hill published on April 22 that Democratic leaders have not yet deeply explored why they lost the White House, failed to reclaim the House, and lost their Senate majority in November.
