What the fundraising records show
January 1, 2025–2026-09-28 · Current transaction snapshot. November–December 2024 is missing; recent filings and manual-export coverage are provisional. Reviewed candidate–committee links do not make every transaction a 2026 campaign transaction. Official account balances and editorial findings are updated separately.
Reviewed records are available for 8 of 12 candidates. These linked committees reported $1,109,164.93 in gross cash contributions during the observation window; this is not a complete race total.
Reviewed City matching receipts account for $728,781.00 (65.7%) of that cash. The remaining $380,383.93 includes individual, organizational, self/family and unidentified receipts; it is not exclusively individual donations.

$179,553.52 (47.2%) of cash outside reviewed matches is unidentified or aggregate reporting. The underlying contributors cannot be counted or linked to other candidates from those records.

Fundraising totals describe financial activity, not voter support or a forecast of the result. A difference in recorded receipts does not establish the effect of an endorsement, controversy or campaign strategy. Candidate profiles separate source types, geography, timing, loans, noncash support and refunds.
