U.S. Senator Andy Kim, who is not up for re-election until 2030, has nearly $1.2 million cash-on-hand, according to fundraising reports filed today with the Federal Election Commission.
Kim raised $303,827 during the second quarter of 2026 and has raised $1,741,610 so far this cycle. He spent $193,036 in April, May, and June, and over $1.42 million since his last election.
For comparison purposes, Kim’s predecessor in the New Jersey U.S. Senate seat, Bob Menendez, had a warchest of $772,668 at the same point in 2020.
Menendez had $4.75 million banked at the end of June 2022 – just weeks after the FBI executed a search warrant at his Englewood Cliffs home, which uncovered significant amounts of cash and gold bars.
A former Obama White House staffer, Kim was elected to the House in New Jersey’s 3rd district, ousting a two-term incumbent in 2018 and re-elected in 2020 and 2022 in a district that Donald Trump carried twice. He entered the Senate race in September 2023, one day after the Justice Department unsealed a corruption indictment against Menendez. Kim raised $1 million in his week as a U.S. Senate candidate.
Four days before the filing deadline, Menendez announced that he would not run in the Democratic primary and instead would seek re-election as an independent. He ended his campaign hours before the deadline to drop out.
Kim raised over $12.1 million for his 2024 U.S. Senate bid. He defeated Republican Curtis Bashaw in the general election.
