Speaker Johnson Raises $34 Million in First Quarter, Sets New Record to Begin 2026 Election Year

April 14, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Speaker Mike Johnson announced today he raised $34 million in the first quarter of 2026, which is the largest election-year quarter ever raised by any Republican Speaker or Leader. Speaker Johnson has now raised more than $116 million in hard dollars for House Republicans this cycle. That amount does not include funds raised by the Speaker's endorsed Super PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund.
 
"We've worked hard to begin this historic election year with our strongest fundraising quarter ever. As more and more Americans recognize exactly what is at stake this year, our momentum will continue to grow," said Speaker Johnson. "This election is about a clear contrast: between House Republicans’ return to common sense and real results -- and Democrats’ radical, far-left agenda to reopen our borders and make life more expensive and more dangerous. As we continue to deliver on our promises, we remain on offense to grow our Republican majority in 2026."
 
This cycle, Speaker Johnson has now given a record-setting $18 million in hard dollars directly to incumbents, and more than $29 million to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). Overall, Speaker Johnson has now distributed more than $64 million to Members, campaigns, committees, and state parties this cycle, as he leads the effort to defend and grow the House GOP majority.
 
In addition to the Speaker’s record-setting direct fundraising haul, Speaker Johnson raised an additional $3 million for House Republicans through digital, mail, and Member events in the first quarter. This builds on the additional $10 million Speaker Johnson raised for Members in 2025.
