Money flows reshape a crowded Senate map as campaigns post record hauls

Across multiple Senate races in Q1 2026, Democrats and Republicans reported massive fundraising hauls and sizable cash reserves, signaling a costly and competitive cycle. Notable tallies include NH Democrat Chris Pappas with a cash lead over GOP rivals, GA’s Jon Ossoff with a massive war chest, Alaska’s Mary Peltola raising a large sum but still trailing Dan Sullivan in cash on hand, and strong fundraising across Maine, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, and Michigan that could influence runoffs and general elections. Outside money and the pace of spending across races suggest a deeply funded, high-stakes battle for control of the Senate.
