Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., has raked in a lot of money from out-of-state donors.

Ossoff is running for reelection in a state Trump won in 2024, albeit by a thin two-point margin. He first arrived at Congress in 2021, after defeating incumbent Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., in a razor-thin election that required a runoff. During that first election cycle, according to the Washington Free Beacon, Ossoff raised 60% of his contributions from outside the state of Georgia.
According to Ossoff's recent October FEC filing, California is leading the pack in terms of the most donations to his campaign during Q3 totaling about 20% of all donations. Georgia is second with about 17.5%.
But when it comes to donors who have maxed out their contribution limits, more of those political donors came from California, 33.3%, New York, 15.65%, and Massachusetts, 10.8%, than from Georgia, which accounted for only 6.1% of maxed-out donors who contributed to Ossoff in Q3.
