Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Schiff’s campaign raised $17.7M: $14.4M (82%) from individuals and $139K (1%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $20.5M.

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.
