    Campaign money

    Method

    In the 2025–26 cycle Scalise’s campaign raised $10.6M: $1.4M (13%) from individuals and $172K (2%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $3.9M.

    Through Jul 18, 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.
