RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Statement on January Fundraising

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on January fundraising:
“The Republican National Committee is off to a strong start in 2012. Building on our momentum from 2011, the RNC raised an impressive $10.4 million in January, bringing our cash-on-hand total to $23.4 million,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
“Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and careful financial stewardship, we will have the resources to wage a competitive campaign against Barack Obama. I extend my sincere thanks to all those who have invested in the RNC and our efforts to elect Republicans to the White House, the Senate, the House, the statehouses, and beyond.
“Since this time last year, we’ve also cut our outstanding debt by more than half, paying off another $1.2 million of it just last month. At the RNC, we are committed to running an effective and efficient operation that maximizes the use of every dollar.
“The American people are ready for a new president and a new direction, and that’s evident in their support of the Republican Party. We take their trust seriously and look forward to achieving victory in November.”
