Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. September 1, 2026 primary not yet held. Incumbent Ed Markey (D) is running for a third full term and faces a genuinely competitive primary challenge from Rep. Seth Moulton (polls tightened to ~5 pts by May 2026), so neither is a cleared-field frontrunner. On the GOP side, John Deaton is the cleared-field presumptive nominee (MassGOP-endorsed); Nathan Bech is a minor declared challenger. Race rated Safe Democratic. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
