DSCC Maxes Out to Coakley in January
In addition to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on television ads in the Massachusetts Senate special election, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also kicked in the maximum $42,600 directly to state Attorney General Martha Coakley’s (D) campaign.
Coakley’s campaign reported the contribution, made Jan. 10, in her pre-general election report with the Federal Election Commission.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who needs Coakley’s 60th vote to pass the Democrats’ health care bill in the Senate, also donated the maximum $10,000 via his political action committee, the Searchlight Leadership Fund, in January.
