Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) raised nearly $2.5 million in the first quarter of the year, marking a strong start to what will likely be a contentious reelection bid in 2026.

According to a source familiar with Cornyn’s political operation, the first quarter fundraising total brings the senator’s cash on hand total to $5.7 million.

Cornyn is considered a formidable fundraiser; he's brought in more than $415 million during his time in the Senate. Last year alone he raised nearly $33 million to help Republicans win the majority in the Senate.
