Where the money came from

Outside spending

Groups spending independently reported $110,000 supporting and $0 opposing Stewart Cathey Jr. this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 12, 2026.¹⁰

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.
