Roger Marshall outraised by Democrat Adam Hamilton in KS Senate race

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Adam Hamilton outraised all his primary opponents combined in the last quarter.

Hamilton raised about $3.6 million, while incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall raised about $553,000.

Despite recent fundraising, Marshall maintains a lead with $5.3 million in cash on hand compared to Hamilton's $2.6 million.

The race for Marshall's seat includes 11 Democrats, two Republicans, and one Libertarian.

Kansas Democrats have a clear frontrunner on the fundraising front in the U.S. Senate primary to challenge incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall.

Adam Hamilton, a Kansas City megachurch pastor, outraised all his Democratic opponents combined in the last quarterly campaign finance report before the Aug. 4 primary election.

Hamilton also outraised — and outspent — Marshall during the last quarter, which was the quarter in which Hamilton formally launched his campaign. But Marshall still has more money in his campaign coffers than Hamilton and all the other Democrats combined.

Hamilton raised about $3.6 million in net contributions and spent about $1.1 million. Between net contributions and transfers from other authorized committees, Marshall raised about $553,000 in the past three months while spending $47,000.

Marshall had about $5.3 million cash on hand, more than double Hamilton's $2.6 million.

All of the other candidates reported fundraising figures of less than $100,000 in the last quarter, and they all had less than $100,000 cash on hand.

The Kansas Secretary of State's Office lists Marshall, the incumbent Republican, as one of 14 candidates in the 2026 elections for his seat in the U.S. Senate. There are 11 Democrats, one Libertarian and one other Republican.

The financial figures are from new campaign finance filings with the Federal Election Commission. 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 July quarterly report had a filing deadline of July 15. The reports show how much money the candidates raised and spent from April 1 through June 30 and how much cash they had on hand.

"Adam Hamilton raised more than any Kansas Senate Candidate launch in history thanks to a grassroots movement of Kansans who are sick and tired of Washington Politicians like Roger Marshall," Hamilton campaign spokesperson Tyson Brody said in a statement. "Kansans know we can do better than the Washington chaos and corruption under Roger Marshall, and that's why they're supporting Adam Hamilton."

Marshall's campaign did not issue a statement on the fundraising figures.
