OpenFEC processed totals through Oct 14, 2026; figures change when amended reports are filed.

Raised is total receipts and Spent is total disbursements as the committee reported them; both can include transfers, loans and refunds. Cash on hand and debts are the balances at the end of the last report. The comparison is the same figure for 2023–2024.
