Powered By Grassroots Support, Peggy Flanagan Raises Nearly $1M In Q2

Flanagan’s Team Includes Over 20,000 Individual Donors, Not a Single Check From Corporate PACs

ST. LOUIS PARK, MN [7/10/25]Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan will report over $900,000 raised for her U.S. Senate campaign in the second quarter of 2025. Over 20,000 individuals made 25,000 contributions. The average contribution was under $30 and 94% of donations were under $100. Flanagan has received donations from all 87 counties in Minnesota and all 50 states, including the District of Columbia. 

Flanagan is also the only candidate in the race who has made the choice not to take money from corporate PACs. 

“When you’ve got this many people willing to support you – $5 and $10 at a time – it’s clear that folks across Minnesota know I will serve them in Washington, not corporations or the ultra wealthy,” said Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. “I had to start from scratch and don’t have the backing of billionaires or special interests but I do have support from the real people who are demanding new leadership in Washington, and who will turn out to vote next August, and in November.”

Retirees and teachers are the top folks donating to Flanagan’s campaign. In addition to support from grassroots donors, Flanagan has received more endorsements from elected officials and state leaders than any other candidate in the race–over four dozen. This includes endorsements from the majority of DFL House Leadership and leadership from the Second Congressional District.
