Congressional candidates filed their first-quarter fundraising numbers of 2026 this week, as Democratic Senate candidates pulled in strong numbers in the heart of midterm elections primary season.

Just over six months away from general Election Day in 2026, Democratic Senate candidates in key races across the country reported large fundraising hauls for the first three months of the election year. The first-quarter fundraising pull left Democratic candidates such as Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), State Rep. James Talarico in Texas, and former Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC) pulling ahead in the Senate candidate fundraising leaderboard.
