LITTLE ROCK, AR – Chris Jones, the Democratic nominee for Arkansas’s 2nd Congressional District, raised $591,388 in the third quarter of 2026. About 95% of contributions came from individual donors.

 

Jones outraised Hill, who reported $590,231 for the same period. Of that amount, Hill raised $250,000 from PACs and other political committees, compared with $248,525, or 42%, directly from individuals. 

 

Donors who gave $200 or less accounted for about 25% of contributions to Jones compared with about 1% to Hill.

 

“People in this district tell me they’re paying more for everything, and their congressman doesn’t seem to notice,” Jones said. “They’re giving what they can because they want someone in Congress who answers to them. I’m grateful to every one of them.”

 

Hill spent $1.9 million in the third quarter, more than three times what he raised.

 

“French Hill has the corporate PACs, a big war chest, and a crypto super PAC spending $1 million to protect him,” Jones said. “Our support comes from families in Benton, Heber Springs, Menifee, Searcy, Little Rock, and towns all across this district. They believe things can get better, and they’re going to decide this race.”
