Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Schakowsky’s campaign raised $413K: $325K (79%) from individuals and $88K (21%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $245K.

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.
