A crowded field of Democrats vying to replace Rep. Ryan Mackenzie in Congress posted over $1 million combined in fundraising in the last three months of 2025, as each candidate seeks an edge in the primary election in May.

Though Mackenzie, the incumbent who is running unchallenged for the Republican nomination, has by far the most cash on hand of all the candidates with over $1.8 million, several Democrats rivaled his quarterly fundraising numbers at the end of 2025, and one candidate even outraised his contributions from individual donors.

The race is considered one of the most competitive in the country and could determine which party takes control of the House of Representatives next year.

Here is a look at each candidates’ fundraising.

Ryan Mackenzie

Mackenzie brought in just over $651,000 in campaign contributions in the fourth quarter, which covers October through December. About a third of those contributions came from individual donors ($240,000); he also took in $138,400 from political action committees and $264,320 from joint fundraising efforts.

He has a sizeable $1.8 million in cash on hand to support his re-election efforts through 2026.

According to a news release from Mackenzie’s campaign, his end-of-year fundraising totals are an all-time record for his campaign.

“I continue to be honored by the support of so many people who have embraced our agenda of commonsense, bipartisan leadership,” said Mackenzie.

His statement also criticized his Democratic opponents as members of the “far-left fringes.”

Ryan Crosswell

Crosswell, a former federal prosecutor who resigned last year after criticizing the Department of Justice’s decision to drop charges against former New York Mayor Eric Adams, led the field of Democratic challengers in fundraising.

His campaign posted $443,800 in the last quarter of 2025, over $100,000 ahead of his closest Democratic opponent, Bob Brooks. The vast majority of Crosswell’s campaign contributions came from individual donors, while he took in $7,000 in political action committee funds and $26,000 in joint fundraising.

“The latest fundraising totals confirm that Ryan Crosswell is the leading candidate in this primary and is best equipped to win the tough fight for this crucial battleground seat in November,” said Crosswell’s campaign manager Nick Mattes in a written statement.

Crosswell’s campaign has largely focused on the alleged corruption of the Trump administration — he has spoken in national media about Trump’s pardoning of allies charged with crimes and prosecution of his perceived political enemies.

His campaign reported $612,000 in cash on hand at the end of last year.

Bob Brooks

Brooks, a former Bethlehem firefighter and president of the Pennsylvania Fire Fighters Association, brought in just over $300,000 in the last quarter of 2025.

Individual donors provided $237,000 and $64,750 came from political action committees, most of which were from progressive Democratic groups like Blue Majority PAC and Medicare for All.

Brooks has secured perhaps the most prominent endorsements of the Democratic field, winning the support of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and left-leaning Independent Bernie Sanders.

This week, Brooks’ campaign also announced that former transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and freshman Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego also threw their support behind his run.

His campaign had $341,000 in cash on hand as of the end of 2025.

Carol Obando-Derstine

Obando-Derstine, a former PPL engineer who joined the race with the support of former Democratic Rep. Susan Wild, brought in just over $100,000 in campaign donations during the reporting period: $81,000 came from individuals, $12,600 came from political action committees and $6,500 came in via joint fundraising.

Her campaign ended last year with $124,000 in its campaign coffers.

Lamont G. McClure

The former Northampton County executive continued to lag behind his Democratic opponents in the final quarter of 2025, posting just under $22,000 in donations, nearly all of which came from individual donors.

His campaign has $287,000 in cash on hand; however, a portion of those remaining funds came from a $200,000 personal loan McClure extended his campaign in September.

Mark Pinsley

Pinsley, Lehigh County’s controller, brought in $52,088 in campaign contributions during the period, all of which came from individual donations. Pinsley’s campaign ended 2025 with $50,000 in its coffers.

Two additional, Democratic candidates, Aidan Gonzalez and Lewis Shupe, did not file finance reports for end-of-year 2025, as they entered the race in January.
