Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Williams’s campaign raised $600K: $180K (30%) from individuals and $403K (67%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $76K.

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.
