Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Jayapal’s campaign raised $2.5M: $2.2M (86%) from individuals and $281K (11%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $1.8M.

Through Jul 15, 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.
