Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Strickland’s campaign raised $1.5M: $839K (56%) from individuals and $667K (44%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $677K.

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.
