Kentucky’s $56.5M in 2026 candidate receipts, 81.5% Republican

Republican committees hold $46.1 million

Republican candidate receipts are 81.5% of Kentucky’s $56.5 million. Democratic receipts of $10.4 million are 18.4%. Other-party receipts of $12,468 are about 0.02%. Kentucky’s candidate book in this snapshot is a two-party table with a large Republican column. That is a party-code fact about 613 committees. It is not a coding of the 52,291 donors.

A Senate committee or a small set of House committees can hold most of $56.5 million. The Kentucky hub’s receipt sort shows which FEC IDs sit behind the $46.1 million Republican line. An amended report from one of those committees would move the 81.5% share.

Cite $46.1 million of $56.5 million as a party-code fact about 613 candidate committees in cycle 2026. Do not cite it as a description of 52,291 donors or of $410.7 million in individual contributions. Those are a different FEC series.

613 filers is an inventory

The candidate count of 613 includes primary fields, residual committees, and other federal filers with a Kentucky association on the FEC record. It is not a count of nominees. Many of the 613 hold little of the $56.5 million. This page does not drop small committees from the roster.

Independent expenditures about Kentucky candidates sit outside the $56.5 million. Those amounts, when disclosed, appear with the Super PAC or PAC that paid for them.

An amended report from a large Republican committee in Kentucky can move 81.5% without any change in voter files, polls, or the $410.7 million donor total. LobbyVault will show the new receipts on the Kentucky FEC totals page. This prose does not invent a later number.

Kentucky donors: $410.7 million from 52,291 people

The individual contribution total of $410.7 million exceeds the $56.5 million candidate book. Kentucky residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain Kentucky donor dollars. The donor series does not inherit the 81.5% Republican candidate-receipt share.

Fifty-two thousand two hundred ninety-one donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation and employer strings live on the underlying rows.

State Registry filings are separate

Kentucky state-office campaigns file with the Registry of Election Finance. Those reports are not in the $56.5 million or the $410.7 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Kentucky FEC totals

The Kentucky FEC totals page carries the live 2026 aggregates. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories share the same FEC.gov backbone. Numbers on this guide are packet facts only.

Reading a 81.5% Republican candidate-receipt share

Republican candidate committees in Kentucky reported $46.1 million, which is 81.5% of $56.5 million. Democratic committees reported $10.4 million (18.4%). Other filers reported $12,468 (0.0%). That is a lopsided candidate-receipt table. It is not a lopsided donor table, because the 52,291 donors who account for $410.7 million are not coded by party in this aggregate. It is not a forecast of any race.

613 federal candidate committees produced $56.5 million. A small set of those committees can hold most of $46.1 million. The Kentucky hub’s receipt sort shows which FEC IDs those are. This guide reports state totals only. Opening a single committee requires the candidate directory and the original FEC report.

Independent expenditures that mention a Kentucky candidate sit outside $56.5 million, including outside the $46.1 million Republican line. Super PAC ads are disclosed by the Super PAC, not by the candidate committee. Use the Super PAC tracker for that spending. Use the PAC directory for committees that often receive a share of the $410.7 million donor stream.

Every dollar figure on this Kentucky guide is a 2026-cycle snapshot from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Committees still file. Refunds and redesignations still post. The 613-committee inventory can lengthen. $56.5 million can rise or fall. $410.7 million from 52,291 donors can move when the individual contribution extract is rebuilt.

State-office campaigns in Kentucky file under state law, not with the FEC. Those reports are outside $56.5 million and outside $410.7 million. Mixing federal and state disclosure systems produces a total that no agency published. This page stays on FEC.gov.

The live Kentucky 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 $56.5 million or $410.7 million after you load the page.
