Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Sullivan’s campaign raised $9.2M: $4.1M (45%) from individuals and $1.9M (21%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $7.3M.

Through Jul 29, 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.
