In new reports, Petersen listed $789,405 in total income for the period from July 1 through Sept. 30. Mayes said she collected $621,991 in the same period.

But Petersen's tally includes $97,500 of his own money that he put into his campaign kitty in August and September.

He also has a ways to go to catch up with Mayes overall.

Petersen's report shows him with about $1.1 million cash on hand at the end of September. Mayes has $1.5 million in the bank.

If Petersen is to take on Mayes in the 2026 general election, however, first he needs to defeat Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary.

Glassman took in less than $490,000 in the three-month period. But he has more money than both of the others combined, listing his cash on hand at more than $2.8 million.

But Glassman, too, is doing some self-financing, having previously loaned his campaign $1 million.

In another race with a GOP primary shaping up, incumbent Republican Tom Horne, the superintendent of public instruction, reported taking in less than $30,000 in the past three months.

But Horne still has more than $216,000 in the bank, including $100,000 of his own money. There is the prospect of more self-funding if needed: He put almost $900,000 into his 2022 campaign to defeat incumbent Democrat Kathy Hoffman.

Before he gets to the general election next year, however, he will have to defeat Kimberly Yee in the GOP primary. Yee, the state treasurer and a relatively recent entry into the 2026 campaign, reported new contributions of nearly $43,000.

Yee also has a surplus of more than $144,000 from her previous successful races for state treasurer. That puts her bank account just shy of $198,000.

Whoever wins will face off against Democrat Teresa Ruiz for the schools superintendent post.

Ruiz brought in more cash than either of the Republicans in the last three months at $49,000. But at the end of the quarter, she had only $38,000 in the bank even with a $25,000 of her own money.

The race for secretary of state is shaping up as a head-to-head in the general election between incumbent Democrat Adrian Fontes and Republican challenger Alexander Kolodin.

Fontes' latest report shows he collected another nearly $245,000 in the past three months, bringing his total donations above $545,000. He reports having more than $357,000 in the bank.

Kolodin, a state representative, said he brought in about $40,000 in the same period. But he also gave his campaign another $50,000 of personal money, on top of a prior $45,000 loan.

All that taken into account, he has just shy of $203,000 cash on hand.

Meanwhile, in the race for the soon-to-be-vacant post of state treasurer, Republican Elijah Norton reports he is running a self-funded campaign with $1 million of personal cash. Once expenses are deducted, that leaves him with about $960,000 in the bank.

Democrat Nick Mansour reports he has so far collected more than $220,000, leaving him with about $130,000 in cash after expenses.

In the races for Arizona Corporation Commission, Republicans Kevin Thompson and Nick Myers are trying to keep their seats. Both are expected to run with public financing as they did in 2022.

They are being challenged in the GOP primary by two incumbent lawmakers, Ralph Heap and David Marshall, who have also said they will use public financing.

The same is likely true for Clara Pratte and Derrick Espadas, two Democrats running for Corporation Commission.
