Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Kiley’s campaign raised $3.0M: $1.9M (63%) from individuals and $356K (12%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $2.1M.

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.
