§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.11
| Raised | $11,319,380 |
|---|---|
| Spent | $8,052,586 |
| Cash on hand | $3,266,795 |
Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $3,971,886 supporting and $10,151,025 opposing Angie Nixon this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 26, 2026.12
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| STRONGER SAFER NATION | — | $10,133,309 |
| AB PAC | $2,517,741 | — |
| TD PAC | $675,000 | — |
| National Nurses United for Patient Protection | $302,404 | — |
| Working Families Party PAC | $200,000 | — |
| SEIU COPE (Service Employees International Union Committee On Political Education) | $158,275 | — |
| 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East Federal Political Action Fund | $55,787 | — |
| Dream Defenders Fight PAC | $25,493 | — |
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.
§5Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Angie Nixon at efdsearch.senate.gov13.
