Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Pfluger’s campaign raised $3.2M: $729K (23%) from individuals and $183K (6%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $2.9M.

Through Jun 30, 2026; filings lag, so recent gifts can take weeks to appear. Money raised also counts loans and transfers, so the shares need not add to 100%. Source: FEC.gov.
