NJ-SEN: Cory Booker has a Brobdingnagian $22.2 million warchest for re-election campaign
U.S. Senator Cory Booker has an astronomical $22.2 million cash on hand after raising nearly $1.34 million in the second quarter of 2026 for his re-election campaign in New Jersey.
Booker, widely viewed as a potential presidential candidate in 2028, has raised a whopping $31.5 million since the end of his 2020 re-election bid.
He faces Republican Justin Murphy, a former deputy mayor of Tabernacle, in his bid for a third full term in the Senate. He won a special election in 2013 following the death of incumbent Frank Lautenberg and was re-elected in 2014 and 2020. Booker’s 2.54 million votes in his last campaign set the record for the most votes ever received by a candidate for statewide office in New Jersey.
Booker spent over $1 million in April, May, and June, and has spent over $15 million since his last campaign.
