Republican Main Street Partnership PAC Raises Almost $300,000 to Support Republican Candidates

Money Will Support Centrists and Defend the GOP’s Congressional Majorities

(Washington, DC) - Last night, the Republican Main Street Partnership (RMSP) PAC raised almost $300,000 as part of it’s ROMP (Retain Our Majority Party) efforts. "We are thrilled at the amazing success of our ROMP event," said Sarah Chamberlain Resnick, head of the RMSP PAC. "The funds raised at this event will allow the Main Street PAC to provide critical support to centrist Republican candidates across the country, and to protect our Congressional majorities."

The RMSP PAC’s fund-raising success comes at a critical time for the GOP majority. Media outlets have been reporting increased fund-raising by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "We have known for a long time that the future of the GOP majorities, particularly in the House, depend on the success of centrist Republicans in November. Now we know that Main Street’s PAC will also play a critical role in aiding those centrist Republicans and ensuring the Congress remains in Republican hands," continued Chamberlain.

Main Street’s ROMP event will benefit Rep. Joe Schwarz (R-MI), Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-OH), Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-PA), Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-CT), Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT), Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) and Rep. Rob Simmons (R-CT).

"We thank every one who so generously supported the Main Street PAC and our centrist members.  Main Street will continue working to protect and grow our Republican Congressional majorities in November," concluded Resnick.
