(Bloomberg) -- The super PAC that backs House Democrats raised $32.8 million in the second half of 2019 and ended the year with $37.7 million cash on hand, according to its filing with the Federal Election Commission.
The biggest contribution to the House Majority PAC was from Michael Bloomberg, who gave $10 million in December. Bloomberg, who's also spending hundreds of millions of dollars on his presidential campaign, is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.
Longtime Democratic donor Fred Eychaner gave the super PAC $4 million, and hedge-fund operator S. Donald Sussman gave $2 million. Billionaire Haim Saban and real estate developer George Marcus each gave $1 million, while Joshua Bekenstein of Bain Capital gave $900,000.
