Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $5,000 supporting and $0 opposing Amanda Hollowell this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 23, 2026.13
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| Working Families Party PAC | $5,000 | — |
Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
