Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Gillen’s campaign raised $5.1M: $3.0M (59%) from individuals and $1.0M (20%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $3.8M.

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.
