Show Us The Money

Democratic challenger Eric Descheenie has raised $3,748 in his 2026 campaign finance effort for Arizona's 2nd U.S. House District seat. Every dollar came from individual contributors. His campaign has spent $1,811, leaving $1,937 in cash on hand. The campaign carries $3,000 in debt.

Descheenie's committee, Eric Descheenie for Congress, reported no contributions from political action committees, no party money, and no loans. His fundraising relies entirely on small-dollar individual donors. No refunds were issued to contributors or committees during the reporting period.

Among all candidates running in Arizona in the 2026 cycle, Descheenie's $3,748 in total receipts places him near the bottom of the field. Arizona's congressional candidates have collectively raised more than $663 million this cycle. Descheenie's haul represents a fraction of a percent of that statewide total.

Candidate Rankings

The top fundraisers in Arizona have pulled in millions, dwarfing Descheenie's totals by a wide margin. Eli Crane leads the state with $7,449,412 in total receipts in the same district. Joanna Mendoza raised $5,341,038, and Juan Ciscomani raised $5,083,547, both in Arizona's 6th District. These three candidates represent the highest fundraisers in the state.

Among Democrats statewide, 26 candidates have raised a combined $22,179,349. Republicans, with 21 candidates in the state, have raised $22,986,407 combined. The two parties are nearly matched in total fundraising, though Descheenie's individual haul is minimal compared to either party's aggregate.

Contributors

Descheenie's campaign received no contributions from political action committees or other organizational sources. His fundraising came entirely from individual donors, distinguishing his campaign from most other candidates in the race.

Incumbents vs. Challengers

Incumbents running in Arizona are far outpacing challengers and open-seat candidates in fundraising this cycle, a pattern common in congressional races nationwide. Descheenie, listed as a challenger with no prior incumbency advantage, faces a steep financial climb heading into the primary.
