Riker Reports Over $1.3M Raised, Over $1M Cash on Hand

Riker Maintains Huge Fundraising Lead in CA-48 Race

Palm Springs, CA – Today, Obama organizer, small business owner, and trained economist Brandon Riker announced raising over $1.3M for his Congressional campaign through the end of Q3 2025, with over $1M cash on hand. Riker reported over 4,500 individual donors, over 6,400 contributions, and  donations from every major city in the new CA-48, including Palm Springs, Hemet, Temecula, Vista, Escondido, and San Marcos.

Riker had already outraised MAGA incumbent Darrell Issa through the end of Q2 2025, raising $130,000 more than Issa. No other CA-48 candidate has yet announced their fundraising numbers through Q3 2025.

“I am incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support for our campaign,” said Brandon Riker. “We desperately need leaders in Congress who understand affordability. While Darrell Issa votes to cut health care and shut down the government, I’m fighting for a future everyone can afford.”
