Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) pulled in a Texas-sized fundraising haul this cycle, raking in $32,965,037 to elect Senate Republicans, his campaign announced. Since he was first elected to the Senate in 2002, he has raised a staggering $414,242,254.

The Texas senator, who is running to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) as the Senate GOP Leader, rolled out his latest fundraising totals following a series of high-profile endorsements, including from his colleagues like Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) for his campaign to helm the Senate Republican Conference. All returning and incoming senators will be eligible to vote in that election on Wednesday. 

Cornyn has been leaning on his massive fundraising chops, his time as the upper chamber’s Whip, and his successful tenure as the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) as he pitches his fellow senators on why he should lead them into the second Trump era. The incoming vice president, JD Vance, once served as a clerk for Cornyn while he was on the Senate Judiciary Committee, giving Cornyn a crucial in with the next administration. 

Cornyn’s fundraising successes are critical for a Republican Party that saw its hard-dollar fundraising swamped by that of Vice President Kamala Harris — whose campaign raised $1 billion in record-breaking time, and felt so confident of a victory that it spent six figures on a set for her Call Her Daddy podcast episode.

Cornyn, who has been in the Senate for 22 years, has raised an average of $18,829,193.36 every year since he was sworn in. He spoke with the Washington Reporter this summer about his bid for the top Senate job, and his desire to democratize the Senate process.

“I think having robust floor debates and opportunities for amendments are going to be really important, because each senator who’s here deserves the right to represent their states and to have their voices heard and to cast votes as they see fit,” he said.
