Facing a tough reelection in battleground Georgia, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff raised $11 million in the first quarter of 2025, according to his campaign, which shared the totals first with POLITICO.<\/p>\n

Ossoff\u2019s campaign said the haul is the most ever raised by an incumbent in the first quarter of an off-year. POLITICO was unable to identify any Senate campaign that had raised more in an equivalent quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to the hundreds of thousands of record-shattering supporters who have already joined what will be the biggest and most relentless turnout effort in Georgia history,\u201d the 38-year-old first-term senator said in a statement.<\/p>\n

According to the campaign, Ossoff\u2019s average donation during the quarter was $32, coming from 260,000 individual donors and over 155,000 first-time donors. Donations came in from 156 of the state\u2019s 159 counties.<\/p>\n

The early fundraising haul is a show of force that could serve to keep some potential GOP challengers on the sideline, though the $11 million is certain to be only a drop in the bucket of the expected overall spending. Georgia\u2019s 2022 Senate race won by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock saw more than $515 million spent<\/a> by campaigns and outside groups, according to OpenSecrets.<\/p>\n

The Republican nomination in the Peach State will hang on the decision of Gov. Brian Kemp, who remains undecided. A number of other Republicans have expressed interest in the race but have stipulated that they would only run if Kemp does not.<\/p>\n

Ossoff is among only a handful of vulnerable Democratic incumbents seeking reelection, with New Hampshire\u2019s Jeanne Shaheen and Michigan\u2019s Gary Peters deciding not to run. Ossoff is already campaigning, hosting an Atlanta rally in late March<\/a> featuring Warnock.<\/p>\n

Georgia\u2019s 2022 Senate race was the most expensive of the cycle, and in four races from 2020 to 2022, $1.4 billion was poured into the state by campaigns, super PACs and other outside groups, per a New York Times analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump carried the state by roughly two points in November<\/a>, and Republicans already view the state as a top priority in the midterms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
