$4,281,681

Raised

$3,691,560

Spent

$2,370,395

Cash on hand

Itemized gifts from individuals: $2,120,184. From PACs and other political committees: $1,844,829.

What Tom Cole's campaign committee reported to the Federal Election Commission for the current two-year cycle (FEC candidate H2OK04055). Campaigns report quarterly, so these totals trail by up to three months. Small gifts under $200 are not itemized, so individual giving is larger than the itemized figure. See the full filings at the FEC.

Financial disclosures

1 periodic transaction report filed in 2026, latest filing Jul 21, 2026. Source: House Clerk financial disclosure index.

A periodic transaction report is the STOCK Act filing a member makes within 45 days of a stock, bond or other securities trade over $1,000 by them, a spouse or a dependent child. The House Clerk's PDF or the Senate's eFD report is the primary source; e-filed reports are read into transactions, paper filings are linked only.
