MIDTERM COUNTDOWN: THE MOST EXPENSIVE MIDTERM EVER?

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had $73 million on hand as of its last filing in June. Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee had $82 million on hand as of its June filing.

The numbers in this tracker reflect only the dollars raised for the candidates’ authorized campaign committees, not affiliated PACs or other fundraising endeavors. This story will be updated as more candidates file their reports. 

Here are the fundraising numbers from April through June in the seats likely to determine control of the House.

Arizona’s 1st District

The district is anchored in Scottsdale and includes Phoenix’s northeastern suburbs. President Donald Trump edged out then-Vice President Kamala Harris by 14,005 votes in 2024. Incumbent Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) is not seeking reelection. Amish Shah, the 2024 nominee, raised $540,000 and had $402,000 on hand.

Marlene Galan-Woods, who finished third in the 2024 Democratic primary and is the preferred pick of the DCCC, raised $619,000 and finished June with $539,000 on hand.

Trump-backed Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker, raised $728,000 and had $794,000 on hand.

Arizona’s 6th District

The border district covers much of Arizona’s southeastern desert. Trump and Harris performed almost identically there in 2024, with Trump receiving only 3,299 more votes than Harris. Former President Joe Biden, meanwhile, won the district by just 306 votes in 2020.

Marine Corps veteran JoAnna Mendoza raised $1.9 million and finished the quarter with $3.1 million on hand for her challenge to Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ). The incumbent raised $1.1 million and had $4.1 million on hand.

California’s 22nd District

The 22nd District is farm country and includes parts of Bakersfield and California’s Central Valley. It has moved to the right in recent years, but it recently underwent a round of redistricting such that it favors Democrats now. Biden won the district by 13 percentage points in 2020. Trump clinched it in 2024 by 6 percentage points.

Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) is set for a matchup with Randy Villegas, a progressive school board official who defeated the Democratic establishment’s preferred pick. Villegas raised $1.3 million and had $572,000 on hand. Valadao raised $758,000 and had $3.4 million on hand.

Colorado’s 8th District

Colorado’s 8th District encompasses much of Denver’s northern suburbs. In 2024, Trump won the district by 2 percentage points over Harris. Four years prior, Biden carried the district by 5 points on his way to the White House.

Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) will vie for a second term against environmental attorney and Democratic state Rep. Manny Rutinel. Evans raised just over $1.1 million and had $3.9 million stored away ahead of November. Rutinel raised $858,000 and had $601,000 cash on hand.

Iowa’s 1st District

Located in the southeast portion of the state, the district encompasses the Davenport and Quad Cities region. Trump won the district by 8 percentage points in 2024, even as incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) only won by 800 votes.

Miller-Meeks raised $1.5 million during the last three months and has $4.7 million on hand ahead of her rematch with former Democratic state Rep. Christina Bohannan this November. Bohannan raised $1.9 million and has $5.4 million on hand.

Iowa’s 3rd District

The Des Moines-anchored seat is the most competitive in Iowa. Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA) narrowly flipped the seat in 2022 and won it by about 4 points last cycle. Trump also won the district by about 4 points in 2024.

Sarah Trone Garriott, a state senator, reported raising $2.2 million and had $3.9 million on hand. Nunn raised $987,000 and had $3.7 million on hand.

Michigan’s 7th District

The Lansing-based 7th District would be a valuable pickup for Democrats on the road to the majority. Trump lost the district in 2020 with 48.7% of the vote, though he won it four years later with 49.7%.

The Democratic primary to determine who will face off against first-term Rep. Tom Barrett (R-MI) is not until Aug. 4. Barrett raised $1.1 million and had $3 million on hand.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink raised $642,000 and had $1.1 million on hand. Former Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam raised $358,000 and has $548,000 on hand. Activist William Lawrence, who has run an insurgent campaign and is endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), had not filed at time of publication.

New Jersey’s 7th District

New Jersey’s 7th District covers a large swath of the northwestern part of the state, bordering Pennsylvania. In 2024, Trump carried the district by 2 percentage points on his way to the White House. Meanwhile, Biden won it by 4 percentage points in 2020.

The race for who will represent the seat is a head-scratcher. Incumbent Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ) vanished from Congress for months, only to resurface in late June. Kean said he had entered treatment for depression on the advice of his doctor. Kean’s opponent, Navy pilot Rebecca Bennett, will look to capitalize on his lack of campaigning during that period.

Kean raised $519,000 and finished the quarter with $3.6 million on hand. Bennett raised $1.6 million and had $1.4 million in the bank.

New York’s 17th District

The New York City suburbs-based seat has shifted toward Republicans in recent years. In 2024, Trump lost the district to Harris by 1 percentage point. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), who won reelection by 6 percentage points that year, is seeking a third term.

Lawler raised $1.4 million for his campaign account and finished the quarter with $4.8 million on hand. Army veteran Cait Conley, who emerged from a crowded primary in June, raised $1.7 million and had $1.3 million on hand.

North Carolina’s 1st District

Redistricting upended this northeastern North Carolina seat, which encompassed most of the Black Belt, adding in several areas along the coast. The seat now favors Republicans — Trump would have won the new district by double digits in 2024.

Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) and Republican Laurie Buckhout are due for a rematch on the remade seat. Davis and Buckhout both raised $1.1 million, with Davis finishing the quarter with $3.6 million in the bank and Buckhout $1.8 million.

Ohio’s 9th District

The Toledo-area seat has changed following state-mandated redistricting in 2025, making the already Republican-leaning district even redder. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) has managed to win the last two cycles in the difficult terrain. She faces a rematch with former state Rep. Derek Merrin.

Kaptur raised $918,000 during the last three months and has $3.5 million on hand. Merrin raised $526,000 and has $511,000 on hand.

Pennsylvania’s 7th District

This district covers an area north of Philadelphia, stretching to the New Jersey state line. Voters there backed Trump over Harris by 3 percentage points in 2024.

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA), who flipped the seat in 2024, raised $872,000 and ended the quarter with $2.9 million banked. Bob Brooks, a firefighter and Mackenzie’s opponent, raised $1.3 million and has $1 million on hand.

Pennsylvania’s 8th District

Republicans flipped the Scranton-area district in 2024 on the heels of Trump’s strength in working-class areas. The president won the district by more than 8 points.

Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA)  raised $1 million and had $2.6 million on hand. Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti, considered one of the stronger Democratic candidates, raised $2 million and had $3.4 million on hand.

Pennsylvania’s 10th District

The Harrisburg-area district has trended Democratic over the last several years. Trump won the district by about 5 points in 2024, but Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) carried the district by double digits in 2022.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), who narrowly defeated Janelle Stelson in 2024, raised $1.2 million in the second quarter and had $2.8 million on hand. Stelson is running again and reported raising $2 million and has $4.5 million in the bank.

Virginia’s 2nd District

The Virginia Beach-area seat has a large military presence and is considered a perennial bellwether. Since 2000, the party that has won this district has won the House majority all but one time.

Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA) reported raising $1.1 million and has $3.6 million on hand. Former Rep. Elaine Luria, who lost to Kiggans in 2022, raised $1.6 million and has $3.6 million on hand.

Maine’s 2nd District

Maine Auditor Matt Dunlap launched a primary challenge to Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) in the northern Maine seat in 2025, but Golden ended up announcing his retirement. Dunlap rode the early momentum all the way to the nomination, where he will have an uphill battle in the seat Trump won by about 10 points.

The GOP nominee, former Gov. Paul LePage, raised $575,000 and had $1.7 million on hand. Dunlap raised $577,000 and had $229,000 on hand after emerging from the Democratic primary.

Texas’s 28th District

The Laredo-based seat covers the Mexican border from McAllen to just south of Eagle Pass. It swung from a district Biden won by nearly 10 points in 2020 to one where Trump bested Harris by roughly the same margin. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) finds himself in a unique political position. He received a pardon from Trump in 2025 that shielded him from corruption charges, though he is now running against Trump-backed Webb County Judge Tano Tijerina, a top GOP recruit.

Tijerina raised $578,000 in the second quarter and had $765,00 on hand. Cuellar raised $611,000 and had $1.1 million on hand.

MIDTERM COUNTDOWN: WILL TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS GET A POLLING BUMP FROM AMERICA 250?

Texas’s 34th District

Republicans see opportunity in the South Texas seat, anchored by Brownsville and parts of McAllen, as Hispanic voters drifted away from the Democratic Party in 2024. The district was redistricted to further favor Republicans, who nominated Eric Flores to take on Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX).

Flores raised $716,000 and finished the quarter with $683,000 on hand. Gonzalez raised $866,000 and entered July with $2.5 million in the bank.
