Brad Ashford vs DCCC
July 13, 2015
The struggle between Brad Ashford and the DCCC over fundraising continues into Q2, with Ashford, one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the country, bringing in a jaw-droppingly bad $155,000. This pathetic haul leaves Ashford with just $254,000 cash on hand.
Last quarter, the spat went public with Ashford calling out the DCCC for insisting on better fundraising efforts, with Ashford even losing his Chief of Staff over the matter.
One national Democratic operative ominously intoned that, “This sounds like the type of activity that occurs in a one-term member of Congress’ office, not someone who is going to be re-elected.” It seems that Ashford is dead-set on proving them right.
