RACC Funding
While the primary sources of funding for the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee (DACC) are unions, trial lawyers and special interest groups — RACC relies most heavily on individuals from all walks of life who contribute $25, $50 or $100 per year.

RACC Investment Strategy
RACC management views campaigns as a business. We only invest in sound campaigns that have a shot of victory. We use a business-like metrics approach with campaigns we invest in. We maintain benchmarks for the campaign to meet if they are to continue to receive operational and financial support. We don’t believe it is good policy to invest your hard earned money into a campaign that is 
not disciplined or that has no shot of victory.
RACC Record
Last year, RACC was successful in protecting every seat that it invested in. RACC raised $1.48 million compared to $4.2 million spent by DACC. This was a major accomplishment given the difficult year it was for Republicans nationally with the Presidential turnout, and being 
outspent 3 to 1, we managed to keep two open seats and return all incumbents that were in play. In 2007, RACC successfully captured an Assembly seat held by DACC for over 30 years.
