The campaigns of the two announced Republicans for Georgia’s U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Jon Ossoff are disclosing similar amounts of outside campaign money raised.

The unofficial reports from the two GOP candidates, U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-St. Simons, and John King, Georgia’s elected insurance and safety fire commissioner, had Carter slightly ahead of King in drawing money from donors. But both of their campaign accounts were dwarfed by incumbent Ossoff, the most prodigious fundraiser in the Senate.

Ossoff’s campaign announced raising more than $10 million over the three months from April through June, ending the second quarter with $15.5 million in the bank.

The Federal Election Commission filing deadline is not until Tuesday, but a source close to the Carter campaign said the congressman will be reporting that he raised $1.1 million from donors and loaned himself another $2 million.

King’s campaign said he had raised $518,000 plus another $150,000 for his political action committee, or PAC. King also reportedly rolled another $350,000 from his state election campaign funds into that PAC, bringing his total haul to about $1 million.

Carter and King will spend some of their money battling each other for the Republican nomination, but so far Ossoff has drawn no Democratic challengers and can continue amassing his war chest for the 2026 general election.
