Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Fields’s campaign raised $833K: $644K (77%) from individuals and $177K (21%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $436K.

Through Jul 18, 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.
