OVERLAND PARK, KS — Today, Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS-03) announced a powerful first quarter fundraising performance, raising $614,825 in the first three months of 2026. Her campaign enters April with $1.44 million in cash on hand, underscoring broad and sustained grassroots momentum heading into the election cycle.
“We’re hitting the ground running this year, with an incredible wave of support from Kansans who are ready to stand together and fight for our values,” said Davids. “I appreciate the grassroots momentum in our campaign, and I remain committed to addressing critical issues that matter to our community — lowering costs on gas and groceries, supporting our farmers and small business owners, and fighting extreme policies at every level of government.”
The fundraising period was driven overwhelmingly by small-dollar donors, with 96 percent of all contributions at $100 or less. The average contribution was $46, reflecting deep community-based support rather than large institutional contributions.
Support from Kansas remains central to the campaign’s financial strength. Half of all donations came from Kansans, with 6,768 Kansas donors contributing during the quarter. Of those, 97 percent of individual donations were $100 or less, further reinforcing the campaign’s deep local roots.
Even as she confronted extreme mid-decade redistricting efforts designed to silence Kansans’ voices, Davids has stayed centered on the needs of Kansans and the issues that matter most to hardworking families. She is fighting to lower the cost of groceries and gas, expand affordable health care, support local farmers and ranchers, and block extreme policies that hurt working families — all while building a campaign fueled by strong community engagement and grassroots energy.
