Indiana’s 1,170 federal filers reported $32.2M in 2026 receipts

Filer count and dollars do not move together

One thousand one hundred seventy candidates is a high filing count for $32.2 million in receipts. House, Senate, and other federal filers tagged to Indiana — including primary and residual committees — sit in that inventory. Most of the $32.2 million sits in a smaller set of committees. The Indiana hub’s receipt sort, not the raw filer count, shows which campaigns moved money.

Other-party receipts are $119,821 (0.4%). Indiana’s candidate book is effectively a two-party table: $21.3 million Republican and $10.8 million Democratic (33.6%).

Keep $32.2 million and $550.9 million on separate lines when citing Indiana. Adding them double-counts gifts that Indiana donors made to Indiana candidate committees. Subtracting them hides the outbound PAC flow. The honest citation is two FEC series for cycle 2026.

Indiana donors: $550.9 million from 65,733 people

The individual contribution total of $550.9 million exceeds the $32.2 million candidate book by a wide margin. Indiana addresses fund national PACs, Super PACs, party committees, and campaigns in other states. Those gifts remain Indiana donor dollars. They do not inherit the 66.0% Republican candidate-receipt share.

Sixty-five thousand seven hundred thirty-three donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation strings live on the underlying rows. This state summary does not re-tabulate them.

Cycle 2026 is open. An amended candidate report moves $32.2 million and the party split. A restated individual file moves $550.9 million and 65,733. The Indiana FEC totals page is the live view. This guide’s printed figures are a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

What $32.2 million does not capture

Candidate receipts do not include independent expenditures by Super PACs, even when the ads name an Indiana candidate. They do not include Indiana state-office filings. They do not include unreported activity, because unreported activity is not in FEC.gov.

PAC directories are the next table if the question is where a share of the $550.9 million went after it left an Indiana address.

Indiana Election Division filings

State-office campaigns in Indiana file with the Election Division. Those reports are not in the $32.2 million or the $550.9 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Indiana FEC totals

The Indiana FEC totals page holds the live 2026 table. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories share the same FEC.gov backbone. Numbers cited here are packet facts only.

Indiana as a donor address, not just a candidate book

The $550.9 million individual contribution total from 65,733 Indiana contributors is the number that answers “how much federal political money is tied to Indiana addresses.” The $32.2 million candidate-receipt total from 1,170 committees is the number that answers “how much Indiana-tagged campaigns booked.” Using either number for the other question is a category error. FEC.gov stores the two series in different files. LobbyVault prints both on the IN hub.

Most of $550.9 million did not land in the 1,170 candidate committees. It landed in PACs, Super PACs, party committees, and campaigns that file in other states. The PAC directory and Super PAC tracker are therefore not sidebars on a Indiana page. They are where a large share of $550.9 million went. Independent expenditures that mention a Indiana candidate can still be financed by donors outside Indiana and would not appear in either Indiana total.

Party splits on the candidate book — Democratic $10.8 million (33.6%), Republican $21.3 million (66.0%), other $119,821 (0.4%) — do not describe the 65,733 donors. Individual contribution rows do not carry a donor party field in this aggregate. A Indiana address on a Super PAC gift is a Indiana donor dollar, not a Democratic or Republican donor dollar.

Start with the question. If the question is candidate fundraising in Indiana, read $32.2 million across 1,170 committees and the party split $10.8 million / $21.3 million / $119,821. If the question is money originating from Indiana addresses, read $550.9 million and 65,733. If the question is independent spending, leave both series and open Super PACs.

Double-counting happens when someone adds $32.2 million to $550.9 million, or treats PAC receipts as candidate receipts, or folds state-office filings into FEC totals. Each of those moves invents a number that is not on FEC.gov.

The candidate directory is the path to a single FEC ID. The Indiana FEC totals page is the path to the state roll-up. Cycle 2026 filings remain the underlying documents. LobbyVault indexes them; it does not replace them.

Questions

How much have Indiana federal candidates raised in 2026?

Indiana-associated federal candidate committees reported $32.2 million in receipts across 1,170 filers. Republican committees reported $21.3 million and Democratic committees reported $10.8 million, per FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault.

How much have Indiana donors given federally?

Individual contribution aggregates show $550.9 million from 65,733 Indiana donors. That series includes gifts to PACs and out-of-state campaigns and is much larger than the $32.2 million in candidate receipts.

What share of Indiana candidate receipts is Republican?

Republican candidate committees reported $21.3 million, or 66.0% of the $32.2 million total. Democratic committees reported $10.8 million (33.6%) and other filers $119,821. Party codes sit on candidate committees, not on donors.

Are Indiana state races included?

No. These figures are FEC.gov federal data. Indiana Election Division filings for state offices are not part of the $32.2 million or $550.9 million.
