Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Ezell’s campaign raised $990K: $464K (47%) from individuals and $477K (48%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $123K.

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.
