Raised and spent are the FEC's official 2025–26 totals through Oct 14, 2026. Poliscope, which supplies the donor, PAC and sector breakdowns on this page, has not loaded the latest report yet and shows $1.10M raised through Jun 30, 2026, so those breakdowns cover an earlier period. FEC.gov's headline for senators covers the full six-year term, so it is larger than the 2025–26 figure here.
Charles Booker is a Democratic Senate candidate from KY. Booker's campaign has raised $1.1 million from 515 donors.
