$0.00 on hand as of the 2025 “Jan 1 – Dec 31” report. The filing.

Time rangeJan 2015 – Jan 2025

Adds up every report whose period starts in the range, as the committee reported it on its DR-2 filings; a report the state lists with only a year counts under January of that year, and the sentence says how many there are. Cash on hand is never added up: it is the closing figure of the most recently filed report in the range, named in the sentence. The money-raised bars and the filing history below follow the range; the cash-on-hand line always shows every report.

23 reports in the range Jan 2015 – Jan 2025: raised $46,447.31, spent $46,971.39, in-kind $1,067.86, as reported. Cash on hand at the end of the most recently filed of them (2025 · Jan 1 – Dec 31, filed 2026-01-15): $0.00.
