What the record shows ·
The FEC's summary for 2025-2026, covering January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, shows $45,175,566.89 in total receipts for his committee, Abdul for U.S. Senate, and $20,495,814.00 for Rogers for Senate, about 2.2 times as much. Transfers from other authorized committees make up $4,953,348.11 of his total and $5,478,269.26 of Rogers's.
Limit: He did raise more. If "three times" means three times as much, his total receipts for the cycle were about 2.2 times Rogers's (about 2.7 times without transfers from other committees). If it means more in three reporting periods, this card did not check that. The figures cover each principal campaign committee only, not super PACs or other groups, and Rogers's money raised for his 2024 race is not counted.
