Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Pocan’s campaign raised $815K: $369K (45%) from individuals and $402K (49%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $884K.

Through Jul 22, 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.
