Cole To GOP House Members: Pay Up
From Hastings Wyman's Southern Political Report ~ Making sure that the Republicans, now in the House minority, have enough money for their 2008 comeback effort is a top early priority for Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole in his role as the new chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
And Cole has quickly made it clear that he wants House Republican incumbents to pay up and help whittle down the substantial debt the NRCC incurred during the 2006 election, in which the GOP lost 30 seats — and majority control — to the Democrats.
The NRCC has already made some progress toward that goal, according to a report the committee filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission. The document showed the NRCC in January reduced its debts to $10.9 million, down about $3.5 million from $14.4 million in red ink reported at the end of December.
