    DeGette Statement on the Passage of the Continuing Resolution

    Not only will it avert a harmful government shutdown, but it also delays a dangerous rule proposed by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that allows politics to influence federal grantmaking.

    “Additionally, the funding bill blocks funds to further Trump’s cruel immigration agenda and restores funding to Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides necessary health care to patients in Colorado and across the country.”

Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle DeGette’s campaign raised $1.7M: $680K (41%) from individuals and $987K (59%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $290K.

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.
