Campaign money

In the 2025–26 cycle Evans’s campaign raised $234K: $126K (54%) from individuals and $108K (46%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $8K.

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.
