House Fundraising Totals: 2001-2025

House of Delegates candidates have raised a collective $18.5 million in the first 15 months of this election cycle, the most since VPAP began tracking money in Legislative races. Sitting legislators continue to enjoy a large fundraising advantage, and account for more than three-quarters of the money raised. As the second election cycle after redistricting, this year has fewer open seats on the ballot than last cycle, bringing fundraising for open seats and incumbent challengers back in line with previous years.
