Rep. Stephanie Bice (R., Okla.) rode a hectic first fundraising quarter to a historic finish, heading into her latest reelection with her strongest point to date.
According to Bice’s numbers, obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter, the Oklahoma lawmaker raised almost $400,000 to start 2026 off, bringing her total cash on hand to just shy of $2 million.
Bice raked in the haul from hundreds of small dollar donors, which made up around one-third of her contributions; during this fundraising quarter, she briefly flirted with running for Oklahoma’s open Senate seat, before decided to run for reelection.
Bice is the only Republican incumbent running for reelection in 2026 in Oklahoma who does not have a primary challenge, which suggests that she would be well-positioned for a future statewide run, should she decide to mount one.
“I am incredibly proud to once again be the Republican nominee for the 5th District,” Bice said.
“Since the start of the year, our grassroots campaign has been working tirelessly to showcase the tremendous work we have achieved, including bringing back nearly $50 million in funding to help our rural communities. Small-dollar donors are the key to winning in November, and I am thankful for all of my supporters across this great district and state.”
After Bice decided against running for Senate, President Donald Trump further bolstered her conservative credentials by once again endorsing her, calling her a “Highly Respected America First Congresswoman.”
“Stephanie has been a fearless fighter alongside GREAT Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and our entire UNITED REPUBLICAN TEAM, working tirelessly to deliver and codify our very successful America First Agenda,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Stephanie is a Team Player, 100%, committed to the mission of EXPANDING OUR MAJORITY and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! In 2026, Stephanie Bice, once again, has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
