Mayor Chaz Molder Announces $411k Raised in Q4, Surpassing $1.21M raised in 2025. 

Molder enters 2026 with over $977k cash on hand. 

COLUMBIA, TN: Candidate for U.S. Congress and Mayor of Columbia, Tennessee, Chaz Molder announced bringing in $411,000 in the final quarter of 2025. Molder closes out the year having raised a whopping $1,210,000 in only 4 months in his bid for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District. In an impressive display of local momentum and support, Molder reports 92% of contributions received coming from Tennesseans. 

“Kicking off the new year, I could not be more grateful for the thousands of people across this district who believe in our campaign,” Mayor Molder said. “As I talk with voters from Lewis to Wilson counties, from Davidson to Marshall counties, and in my home county of Maury, one thing continues to be clear: Middle Tennesseans are eager to elect new leadership focused on the issues that matter: lowering costs, protecting access to quality healthcare, and helping our communities thrive. This campaign is about listening, and I look forward to continuing to travel this district and earn the trust of the voters, so that in November we elect a Representative who will bring real Tennessee values and leadership to Congress.”

Four months after launching his campaign for Congress, Molder’s campaign continues to gain momentum across the district. Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District is being targeted as a top flip-opportunity in 2026 as Race Raters shift their predictions as they see the writing on the wall — Middle Tennesseans are ready for change.
