EXCLUSIVE — Fundraising numbers from the National Republican Congressional Committee show Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL), who lost a race to be chairman of a prestigious committee, has not sent any money to the campaign arm for House Republicans after sending millions last cycle.
EXCLUSIVE — Fundraising numbers from the National Republican Congressional Committee show Rep. Vern Buchanan , who lost a race to be chairman of a prestigious committee, has not sent any money to the campaign arm for House Republicans after sending millions last cycle.
Buchanan was the most senior member on the committee and, over his tenure, had been chairman or ranking member of five of the six ways and means subcommittees. And, while making campaign contributions to fellow Republicans and transferring funds to the NRCC doesn’t ensure a gavel, it does help a candidate be taken more seriously and is a factor the Steering Committee considers when divvying out committee assignments and chairmanships.
Buchanan said while he was “disappointed” he didn’t get the ways and means gavel, that doesn’t have anything to do with why he hasn’t sent any money to the NRCC this cycle and that he plans on sending money over eventually.
