Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Schumer’s campaign raised $991K: $601K (61%) from individuals and $126K (13%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $8.0M.

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.
