McHenry steps up fundraising for GOP colleagues

By John Bresnahan (Politico) –

North Carolina GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, the chief deputy majority whip, has raised and given out nearly $5 million for his fellow Republicans this cycle.

McHenry — first elected to Congress in 2004 — has raised nearly $3 million for candidates and incumbents at 135 events, said a source close to the North Carolina Republican. He has donated almost $700,000 to members directly from his leadership PAC, More Conservatives PAC, and transferred over $1.2 million to the National Republican Congressional Committee from his reelection campaign, Federal Election Commission records show.
