Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Doggett’s campaign raised $471K: $76K (16%) from individuals and $150K (32%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $6.4M.

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.
