NEW YORK \u2014\u00a0Today, Governor Kathy Hochul announced raising $17 million in the July 2026 filing period. This total includes $5.6 million to her re-election campaign from a record 27,000 unique donors, and $11.4 million raised into the New York State Democratic Party to continue investing in a robust Coordinated Campaign and ensure Democrats take back the House in November. The campaign will end this filing period with more than $20 million cash on hand, and the New York State Democratic Party will end the filing period with more than $22 million cash on hand.<\/p>\n
For the third filing period in a row, the Governor has earned grassroots donations from New Yorkers in all 62 counties. A majority of her contributions came from New York State.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur movement is big and getting bigger \u2014 with more than 5 times the number of unique donors than this time last cycle, an average online donation of $20, and our third filing in a row with grassroots donations from all 62 counties,\u201d\u00a0said Friends for Kathy Hochul Campaign Manager Preston Elliott.\u00a0\u201cThe governor\u2019s historic investment in building a strong coordinated campaign means we will not only send Blakeman packing a sixth time this November, but also help Democrats take back the House and flip local offices across the Empire State.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since winning re-election in 2022, Governor Hochul has raised a total of over $71M\u00a0for her re-election campaign and to fund and strengthen the New York State Democratic Party, boosting Democrats\u2019 efforts to win 5 of 7 battleground House seats in 2024.\u00a0Her campaign and the state party\u2019s combined cash in hand now stands at $42M.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Friends for Kathy Hochul | July 15, 2026 Hochul\u2019s Record Raise Includes $5.6M to Friends for Kathy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,49,51,50],"class_list":["post-296470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
