Mayor Chaz Molder Outraises Opponent Andy Ogles for the Third Quarter in a Row 

COLUMBIA, TN: Candidate for U.S. Congress and Mayor of Columbia, Tennessee, Chaz Molder four times outraises Republican opponent Andy Ogles, bringing in $615,000 compared to Ogles’ $138,000. Molder has amassed over $1,274,000 cash on hand, holding a 14 to 1 cash on hand advantage over Ogles. Since launching his campaign for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District in September 2025, Molder has raised $1,825,000.

“Thank you to all of you who have invested in our campaign to bring new leadership to Middle Tennessee,” Mayor Molder said. “This outpouring of support has given us the ability to let voters know that they do not have to accept the chaos, higher cost of living, and reduced access to healthcare that Andy Ogles is bringing to our communities. I’m proud of the strong campaign and coalition we are building with an eye towards this November. Talking with people across this district, I know that we will give Middle Tennessee the true representation they deserve in Congress.” 

As momentum builds, Molder’s campaign is focused on reaching voters in every county of the district, building a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to send Andy Ogles packing this November.
