EXCLUSIVE: Trump-Backed Julia Letlow Announces Fundraising Haul In Bid To Oust Pro-Impeachment Sen. Bill Cassidy

Republican Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow, vying to unseat a senator who voted to convict President Donald Trump, is expected to report more than four million dollars in fundraising for the first quarter of 2026.

The congresswoman’s reported fundraising haul for Q1 2026 totals $4,378,500, including $1.9 across multiple campaign entities and an additional $2.5 million transferred from her congressional account, according to a release Letlow’s campaign first shared with the DCNF. Letlow entered the race against two-term incumbent Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy on Jan. 20 — three days after Trump gave her a surprise endorsement on Truth Social.

This figure, however, does not include the combined $3.8 million three pro-Letlow entities reported, a spokesperson for the groups told the DCNF. Therefore, the total reported amount of pro-Letlow spending is more than $8 million.

“I am humbled by the support pouring in from every corner of our state. Louisianans are ready for a senator who stands with President Trump and fights for our families, our values, and the future we owe our children,” Letlow told the DCNF in a statement. “I am grateful for every supporter who has stepped up, and I will keep working to earn every vote between now and May 16.”

Cassidy, whose reelection is backed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, touted a combined $26 million war chest between his campaign and allied groups in a January press release.

Nevertheless, the senator still made headlines
