Candidate Rankings
Among all candidates running in Texas in the 2026 cycle, Pearce ranks near the bottom by total receipts. Texas candidates combined have raised roughly $903.7 million this cycle. Pearce's $11,783 represents less than one-hundredth of one percent of that total. The state's top fundraisers have pulled in millions, putting Pearce's haul far outside the competitive range for a Texas congressional race. James Talarico leads all Texas candidates with $40,284,109 raised. Jasmine Crockett follows with $11,092,295. John Cornyn ranks third with $7,917,429.
Incumbents vs. Challengers
Incumbents in Texas are raising far more money than challengers and open-seat candidates in the 2026 cycle. This pattern is common in congressional races nationwide. Pearce, running as a challenger with no incumbent status, reflects the wide financial gap that non-incumbents typically face. Democratic candidates in Texas have raised $107,432,926.96 this cycle, while Republican candidates have raised $103,319,089.15.
