Races, ranked by the filed money 2026

Every race with a candidate on file, ranked by what the candidates' own campaigns reported raising and spending to the FEC. Each card opens its race page.

Cycle: 2026 · 2024 · 2022 · 2020 · 2018 · 2016 · 2014 · 2012 · 2010 · 2008 · 2006 · 2004 · 2002 · 2000 · 1998 · 1996 · 1994 · 1992 · 1990 · 1988 · 1986 · 1984 · 1982 · 1980

State races, from each state's certified returns or its own candidate list: AL · AK · AZ · AR · CA · CO · CT · DE · DC · FL · GA · HI · ID · IL · IN · IA · KS · KY · LA · ME · MD · MA · MI · MN · MS · MO · MT · NE · NV · NH · NJ · NM · NY · NC · ND · OH · OK · OR · PA · RI · SC · SD · TN · TX · UT · VT · VA · WA · WV · WI · WY

Candidate committees only, so this is a floor, not a total. Money spent by outside groups is not in these numbers; each race page shows it separately.

One committee filed under two candidacies repeats its figure. Nothing here sums the repeats.The money is the FEC's own summary file, one row per resolved principal committee, so a committee shared between two candidacies shows the same figure under each and is summed exactly once.
