Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Gillibrand’s campaign raised $2.8M: $1.1M (40%) from individuals and $153K (5%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $2.3M.

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.
