Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Carey’s campaign raised $3.3M: $900K (27%) from individuals and $1.7M (53%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $2.1M.

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.
