DSCC donor breakfast meeting features Bennet, Merkley
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee hosts a breakfast briefing this morning with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), both members of the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee and the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Bennet is facing a primary challenge this year, but first quarter reports showed him outraising his opponent, Andrew Romanoff, by a ratio of 3.5 to 1. Fifty-eight percent of the cash he collects in large individual contributions comes from out of state. Merkley is not up for reelection this year.
The monthly DSCC breakfasts are open to any donor who gives at least $5,000 to the committee per year, according to the invitation.
