Andrew Sneed outraised incumbent Representative Dale Strong in the most recent reporting period, marking a significant step in Sneed’s campaign to defeat Strong in the 2026 midterm election.
Q4 campaign finance reports show a clear contrast in the source of fundraising: nearly 75 percent of Strong’s contributions came from corporate PACs and special interests, while 100 percent of Sneed’s fundraising came from individual donors, according to Sneed’s campaign.
“This campaign is being built by people who want a representative that answers to them, not to corporate PACs or special interests in Washington,” Sneed said. “Outraising an incumbent through individual donations shows the power of the people of this district and tells me that folks across this district are ready for a different kind of leadership.”
Sneed, a North Alabama native and small-business owner, launched his campaign with a focus on restoring trust in government, rejecting corporate and special-interest influence, and centering working families and small businesses in public service.
“This race is about who Congress works for,” Sneed said. “We are just getting started. We are continuing to build momentum and run a people-powered campaign to win this November.”
