What they say

His campaign says he raised $14.1 million for his campaign committee in the second quarter of 2026, within a total of over $17.1 million that also counts $3 million raised for affiliated fundraising committees.

“including $14.1 million to the Friends of Sherrod Brown campaign committee and $3 million to affiliated fundraising committees”

What the record shows · Jun 30, 2026

His committee's two reports for April 1 to June 30, 2026 show receipts of $1,508,560.39 for April 1 to 15 and $12,586,265.62 for April 16 to June 30, a total of $14,094,826.01. The Ohio Grassroots Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee whose members are his campaign committee, the Ohio Democratic Party, his leadership PAC and the DSCC, reported $3,022,347.64 in receipts for the quarter. Together that is $17,117,173.65.

Limit: The fund passed $1,936,000 to his campaign committee in the quarter, so that money is in both figures; counted once, his committees raised about $15.18 million. The fund's name does not include his; its registration lists his committee as a member. No filing shows how the fund splits money among its members.
