    Campaign money

    Method

    In the 2025–26 cycle Raskin’s campaign raised $7.4M: $6.5M (88%) from individuals and $395K (5%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $7.9M.

    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.
