§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$2,404,664

Where the money came from

Individual donors$2.1M · 89%
PACs and other political committees$254K · 11%
Other receipts (other loans, refunds, interest)$3,476 · 0%

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $1,229,267 supporting and $10,945 opposing Connie Chan this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 25, 2026.12

Largest independent spenders, as named in their FEC filings.

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.
