Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Barr’s campaign raised $19.9M: $11.2M (56%) from individuals and $3.9M (19%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $4.6M.

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.
