Did Rebecca Bennett raise over $3 million from more than 15,500 donors?

Rebecca Bennett

Campaign money: over 3 million dollars from individuals

No assessment

What they say

Her campaign said on May 22, 2026 that she had raised more than 3 million dollars in the cycle from over 15,500 individual donors, with 90 per cent of donations 100 dollars or less.

“Her cycle-to-date raise of over $3 million has been from over 15,500 individual donors, with 90% of her donations being $100 or less.”

What the record shows · May 22, 2026

Her last report before the page, through May 13, 2026, shows 2,927,964.18 dollars in contributions and transfers for the cycle: 2,748,172.82 from individuals, 113,550 from other political committees and 66,241.36 in transfers. Her July report lists, by date, 164 gifts from individuals received May 14 to 22, totalling 91,044.99 dollars, plus a 6,061.33-dollar transfer from a joint fundraising committee and a 250-dollar gift from another committee. That takes her past 3 million dollars by the day of the claim, to at least 3,025,320.50. By June 30 the cycle total was 4,272,033.75 dollars, 3,902,262.38 from individuals.

Why there is no assessment here

The dollar total holds; the rest is not settled. Her reports list by date only donors who gave more than 200 dollars. For individuals alone to pass 3 million by May 22, gifts from the others would need to come to about 88,000 to 161,000 dollars in those nine days. Such gifts came to 30,912 dollars in the 43 days before May 14, and 230,603 in the 48 days from May 14 to June 30. Her reports cannot count 15,500 donors or the share of gifts of 100 dollars or less; ActBlue's filings, which list each gift it passes on, could.

Limit: The claim bundles three figures: a dollar total, a donor count and a share of small gifts. Only the first can be read from filings for May 22. The total counts contributions and transfers. Less the 13,784.25 dollars refunded to donors by May 13, it is about 3.01 million, still over 3 million.
