EXCLUSIVE: Winning for Women and aligned groups raise over $1.5 million

The leading groups backing GOP women candidates raised $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, according to numbers obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter.

Winning for Women Action Fund (WFW AF) and its aligned groups hauled in $600,000 in hard dollars as part of its latest quarter.

“Early support like this is critical in close races,” Meredith Allen Dellinger said of her group’s success; Dellinger is the executive director of WFW AF. “We are excited to be able to send significant resources to their campaigns this early in the cycle, and we are just getting started.”

The group has a history of backing GOP winners, including Sens. Susan Collins (R., Maine), Joni Ernst (R., Iowa), Katie Britt (R., Ala.), Ashley Moody (R., Fla.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R., Miss.), along with Reps. Stephanie Bice (R., Okla.), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R., Iowa), Jen Kiggans (R., Va.), Claudia Tenney (R., N.Y.), Lisa McClain (R., Mich.), Ashley Hinson (R., Iowa), and more.

“We are thrilled to see how much enthusiasm there is for these strong women leaders in Congress,” Danielle Barrow, WFW AF’s president, said. “Many of them are fighting to hold seats Republicans need to win to maintain our majorities.”

“While we are continuing to prioritize those battleground races, we are also excited to be able to support nearly two dozen conservative champions and the work they have done to strengthen the party,” Barrow said.

Earlier this year, WFW hosted a summer fundraiser that featured most of the House GOP’s leadership.

Since 2020, WFW and its groups have raised and directed the spending of over $40 million to elect Republican women.
