Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Kelly’s campaign raised $40.8M: $40.4M (99%) from individuals and $27K (0%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $24.3M.

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.
