Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Amo’s campaign raised $1.7M: $1.1M (61%) from individuals and $654K (38%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $1.9M.

Through Aug 20, 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.
