Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Fischbach’s campaign raised $1.3M: $470K (37%) from individuals and $730K (57%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $920K.

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.
