Georgia candidate receipts hit $206.2M on 1,189 FEC filers

High receipts, fewer committees

One thousand one hundred eighty-nine federal candidates and $206.2 million in receipts means the Georgia candidate book is concentrated. The $206.2 million is not far behind Texas and California candidate totals, yet Georgia’s filer count is well below those states’ thousands of committees. Concentration is a description of the table, not a judgment about competitiveness. A handful of Senate and House committees can dominate a state receipt total without the rest of the roster disappearing from FEC.gov.

Other-party receipts are $48,497 — effectively a rounding line on a $206.2 million book (about 0.02%). Almost every reported candidate dollar in this Georgia slice sits in a Democratic or Republican committee.

A complete citation for Georgia names both $206.2 million in candidate receipts across 1,189 filers and $962.6 million from 130,894 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

Republican $121.9 million, Democratic $84.3 million

Republican candidate receipts are 59.1% of Georgia’s $206.2 million. Democratic receipts are 40.9%. Those shares come from party codes on candidate registrations. They do not measure votes, polls, or independent expenditures. A Super PAC that spends on a Georgia race is tracked on the Super PAC pages, not inside these candidate receipt columns.

Because other-party money is $48,497, adding the two major-party lines ($121.9 million + $84.3 million) reconstitutes essentially the full $206.2 million. Readers comparing Georgia with Minnesota or West Virginia, where “other” is a large slice, should not expect the same three-way split here.

Cycle 2026 remains open. Amendments move Form 3 receipts. Restated individual files move donor aggregates. If the live Georgia hub disagrees with this guide, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Georgia donors: $962.6 million from 130,894 people

The individual contribution total for Georgia is $962.6 million. That is larger than the $206.2 million candidate book, as donor series usually are, but the multiple is smaller than in donor-export states such as New York or Virginia. Many Georgia contributions still leave the state’s candidate committees for PACs and out-of-state races; the $962.6 million simply does not run as far ahead of receipts as in those states.

One hundred thirty thousand eight hundred ninety-four donors is the FEC contributor count in this aggregate. It is not a unique-person census after fuzzy matching, and it is not a count of Georgia registered voters. Occupation and employer fields live on the underlying contribution rows, not in this state summary.

Federal only

Georgia state campaign-finance filings (Ethics Commission) are outside this dataset. The $206.2 million and $962.6 million figures are FEC.gov federal numbers for the 2026 cycle. Mixing them with state-level gubernatorial or legislative totals would double-count some activity and miss other activity. LobbyVault’s Georgia hub is the federal table.

Reading the Georgia hub

The Georgia FEC totals page lists the 1,189 candidates and the receipt split used here. The candidate directory, PAC directory, and Super PAC tracker open the same cycle with different entity filters. Source for every dollar figure on this guide is FEC.gov as indexed on LobbyVault.

Putting Georgia’s FEC fields on one page without mixing them

The packet for Georgia contains seven quantitative fields for cycle 2026: 1,189 candidates, $206.2 million in candidate receipts, $84.3 million Democratic, $121.9 million Republican, $48,497 other, $962.6 million donated, and 130,894 donors. This guide cites those fields and percentages computed from them. It does not cite poll numbers, independent-expenditure totals, or state-office filings, because those are not in the packet.

Candidate receipts of $206.2 million can include individual gifts, PAC transfers, and other inflows a campaign discloses. They do not include Super PAC ads. Donor totals of $962.6 million count itemized individual contributions originating from Georgia regardless of the recipient. The two series overlap only where a Georgia donor gave to a Georgia-tagged candidate committee.

Party shares — 40.9% Democratic, 59.1% Republican, 0.0% other — are receipt shares. They are not donor shares. The Georgia FEC totals page, the candidate directory, the PAC directory, and the Super PAC tracker are the four LobbyVault views that share FEC.gov as the source.

Every dollar figure on this Georgia guide is a 2026-cycle snapshot from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Committees still file. Refunds and redesignations still post. The 1,189-committee inventory can lengthen. $206.2 million can rise or fall. $962.6 million from 130,894 donors can move when the individual contribution extract is rebuilt.

State-office campaigns in Georgia file under state law, not with the FEC. Those reports are outside $206.2 million and outside $962.6 million. Mixing federal and state disclosure systems produces a total that no agency published. This page stays on FEC.gov.

The live Georgia table is the place to look after an amendment. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories open the same bulk data. This prose will not silently rewrite $206.2 million or $962.6 million after you load the page.

Georgia-associated federal candidate committees reported $206.2 million in receipts across 1,189 filers. Republican committees reported $121.9 million and Democratic committees reported $84.3 million, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault.

How many Georgia donors appear in FEC records for 2026?

The individual contribution aggregate shows 130,894 Georgia donors and $962.6 million in contributions. That donor series is separate from the $206.2 million in candidate receipts and includes gifts to PACs and out-of-state committees.

Is Georgia’s federal candidate money mostly Republican?

On candidate receipts, yes in this snapshot: $121.9 million Republican (59.1%) versus $84.3 million Democratic (40.9%). Other-party receipts are $48,497. The split is a party-code roll-up of candidate committees, not a donor-party map.

No. These figures are federal FEC.gov data for the 2026 cycle. State Ethics Commission filings for Georgia offices are a different reporting system and are not part of the $206.2 million or $962.6 million totals.
