    Campaign money

    Method

    In the 2025–26 cycle Jeffries’s campaign raised $14.9M: $10.9M (73%) from individuals and $2.1M (14%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $5.0M.

    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.
