Filing with the FEC is a disclosure, not a place on the ballot. Money raised is not a forecast.
November nominees first, then by money raised. Bars are in party color; raised includes loans from the candidate, and spent can exceed raised when a campaign spends money left from earlier cycles.
Senate: bars drawn to $21.3M, the most raised; FEC reports through Oct 14, 2026.
House: bars drawn to $8.8M, the most raised; most of this money is reported through Oct 14, 2026; the newest report runs to Oct 16, 2026.
