Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Feenstra’s campaign raised $1.1M: $306K (27%) from individuals and $597K (53%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $0.

Through Sep 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.
