there will be no more fundraising reports before the primary election
This is incorrect because federal candidates in New York still have to file a pre-primary campaign finance report before the June 23, 2026 primary.
Full reasoning
Alex Bores is running for the U.S. House, so his campaign follows FEC reporting rules. The FEC’s 2026 congressional pre-election calendar lists a New York Primary on June 23, 2026 with a pre-primary filing deadline of June 11, 2026 and a close-of-books date of June 3, 2026. The FEC’s New York-specific primary notice says principal campaign committees of congressional candidates must file a Pre-Primary report covering April 1, 2026 through June 3, 2026.
So the March 31 quarterly report is not the last fundraising report before the primary. There is still at least one more required fundraising disclosure before voters cast ballots, which means donations made after March 31 can still appear in a report released before the primary election.
