The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Friday that it raised nearly $81 million last year and has $9 million banked for this year's elections. The RNC also said that it is debt-free. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said that his party easily outraised Democrats last year and enters 2014 in a position of strength and on solid financial footing. Much of the RNC's spending was on technology and hiring operatives outside Washington. The RNC is trying to rebuild after losing back-to-back presidential elections. -- SPA 15:48 LOCAL TIME 12:48 GMT تغريد
