2026 House Democratic Fundraising Record: HMP Hits $121 Million in Landmark Year

$121 million. That's the staggering amount House Democrats' primary outside allies raised in 2025, setting a new benchmark for a non-election year. According to POLITICO, the House Majority PAC (HMP) and its affiliated nonprofit have never seen this level of financial firepower since HMP's founding in 2011.

Breaking Down the 2026 House Democratic Fundraising Record

The groups didn't just meet expectations; they crushed them. In the final six months of 2025, they hauled in $81 million—effectively doubling what they raised in the first half of the year. This surge is widely seen as a reflection of growing donor optimism following Democrats' strong performance in recent off-year elections.

Cash Advantage vs. Structural Challenges

To put this into perspective, HMP raised only $72 million for the entire 2018 election cycle. While the current war chest is massive, the GOP isn't sitting idly by. The Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), the main Republican counterpart, had actually outraised Democrats during the first half of 2025 with $60 million compared to $40 million. The final 2025 totals for the GOP have not been released yet, leaving the overall spending lead in question.
