Kim Continues Epic Run Raising Over $1.5 Million in Q4; Grows Cash Advantage to $2 Million

Anaheim, CA- Rep. Young Kim announced raising over $1.5 million in the Federal Election Commission’s 2025 4th quarter, and ended the period with nearly $5.5 million cash-on-hand.

One of the House’s most prolific fundraisers, Kim has $5 million in cash-on-hand available for the 2026 primary election, and has already laid down a massive $3.25 million media buy for the 2026 election. Kim’s buy is one of the largest of the 2026 election cycle.

Another strong quarter by Rep. Kim has given her a strong cash advantage in the race for California’s 40th Congressional District: 

Kim, who possesses one of the House’s best small-dollar fundraising programs, has raised nearly $1.7 million in unitemized contributions from nearly 48,000 unique donors this cycle.

As media attention focuses on the much anticipated CA-40 primary, one thing is clear – elected officials, operatives, and pundits alike recognize Kim’s fundraising prowess and ability to win tough races. Puck News recently reported that “Kim is a ferocious competitor who flipped a Democratic district in 2020 and has faced a tough reelection every cycle”. A House GOP consultant also added, “some people, when they’re stressed, go to the gym. Young makes fundraising calls. She’s a f*cking machine.”

Congresswoman Young Kim currently represents California’s 40th Congressional District, which encompasses portions of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Kim represents over 175,000 registered voters and over 42% of high-propensity Republican voters in the new 40th district. She serves on the House Financial Services Committee, House Foreign Affairs Committee, and House China Select Committee.
