Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Barrett’s campaign raised $6.3M: $3.4M (53%) from individuals and $1.5M (23%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $2.9M.

Through Jul 15, 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.
