Bottom line

Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Reed’s campaign raised $3.4M: $2.1M (63%) from individuals and $1.1M (34%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $3.1M.

Through Aug 20, 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.
