Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Griffith’s campaign raised $1.8M: $549K (30%) from individuals and $1.2M (67%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $974K.

Through Jul 15, 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.
