TX-SEN: Rep. James Talarico raises $7.4 million in first six weeks of 2026 in bid for U.S. Senate
State Rep. James Talarico raised over $7.4 million in the first six weeks of the year, already outpacing his fourth quarter figure and bringing his total for the cycle to over $20 million.
The haul is the latest — and largest — in a string of strong fundraising performances for the Austin Democrat. Talarico raised $6.2 million in the first three weeks of his campaign and nearly $7 million from October through December. The Talarico campaign said donations have come from every county in Texas and all 50 states throughout the cycle.
“We have a moral imperative to win this November — because if we don’t win, we can’t help people,” Talarico said in a statement. “With the help of more than 290,000 of our neighbors, we’re building a campaign that can stand up to the billionaire mega-donors and far right extremists hurting working people all across Texas and the country.”
Talarico has built a strong small-dollar donor network — his campaign says he’s received over 500,000 donations from over 290,000 individuals since launching his bid in September — and has a cash advantage over his primary opponent, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas.
