FEC bulk candidate summaries through October 14, 2026. Candidate summaries may include earlier election stages. Independent-spending totals are withheld here pending reconciliation of amendments and reporting periods. Use the candidate-specific FEC links to inspect committee, date and support/oppose records. A missing record does not establish that no spending occurred. Do not add outside spending to candidate receipts: money spent independently is separate from money raised by the candidate. These tables do not estimate a causal effect on votes; the race's model explanation identifies the inputs it actually uses.
