In the first three months of this election year, Republican incumbent Roger Marshall outraised all of the Democratic candidates combined in the U.S. Senate race.
Marshall reported about $513,000 in net contributions, while the eight Democrats reported about $391,000 combined.
Those figures are from new campaign finance filings with the Federal Election Commission from U.S. Senate candidates for the 2026 elections. Federal candidates and political committees that meet certain thresholds are required to disclose information about the money they raise and spend to the FEC.
The FEC’s April quarterly report had a filing deadline of April 15. The reports show how much money the candidates raised and spent from Jan. 1 through March 31 and how much cash they have on hand.
Marshall, of Great Bend, had about $4.8 million cash on hand for his campaign. That was after recording about $513,000 in net contributions and about $38,000 in net operating expenditures during the period, according to the report by Kansans for Marshall. His campaign also received about $219,000 in transfers from other authorized committees.
