Pelosi raises more than $25 million for Democratic efforts to retake the House
WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's re-election campaign said she has raised $25.9 million for House Democrats' bid to retake the chamber in 2018, with the majority of the money going to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Long known as a fundraising powerhouse, San Francisco's Pelosi has seemed invigorated with her new role of opposing President Donald Trump.
Since joining House leadership in 2002, Pelosi has raised $593.8 million for Democrats, according to her campaign spokesman Jorge Aguilar.
The 124 fundraising events she's held in 22 cities this year garnered $1.2 million from a New York City fundraiser in March, nearly $2 million from a fundraiser in San Francisco and nearly $1.5 million from a Los Angeles fundraiser, both in April.
Aguilar said the haul "demonstrates the growing enthusiasm for House Democrats to retake the House."
