As of early April, more than half of House Democrats had paid less than 50% of their expected dues to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), with an average payment rate of 47%, according to a report obtained by Axios. Nearly 30 members not in battleground districts had paid 0% of their expected dues. The DCCC relies on these dues as a significant source of income to support candidates in swing districts. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has contributed over $4.6 million, exceeding his expected $1.1 million contribution. Other prominent contributors include Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), both of whom have also surpassed their dues goals. Conversely, several members facing primary challenges, retiring members, and some notable figures such as Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) have not paid any dues.
