Look at the FEC Report Casey Crabtree just filed for his first quarter. Very respectable, and if he can keep it up, it could be a horse race.
Oct 2025 FEC Crabtree by Pat Powers
Crabtree came in raising a respectable $206,271.17 in contributions, which is good, because we’re moving into the fundraising doldrums of the holiday season in 30 days.
Lots of recognizable names on his fundraising list – Current & former Legislators such as Corey Brown, Sen. Sydney Davis, Rep. Roger DeGroot, Alex Jensen, Richard Thomason, Russ Olson, Rep. Drew & Kent Peterson Tim Rave, Sen. Tim Reed, Rep. Kent Roe, Sen Mike Rohl, Sen Steph Sauder, Erin Tobin, Tyler Tordsen, James Wangsness, And I know I’m missing a lot of people. Matt Paulson, Ted Hustead & Delon Mork were in for $3500 each. Over 90 pages of donors.
Against this, he had $24,792.92 in expenditures, leaving him $181,128.25 cash on hand.
For a first-time statewide candidate, this was respectable, and it definitely looks to be game on in the Congressional race.
Crabtree is just getting started.
