Louisiana candidate receipts: $80.0M, 86.7% Republican

Republican committees hold $69.3 million

Republican candidate receipts are 86.7% of Louisiana’s $80.0 million. Democratic receipts of $10.6 million are 13.3%. Other-party receipts are $72,833 (0.1%). That is one of the more lopsided two-party splits in this national extract. It is still a party-code summary of candidate committees, not a map of the 69,037 donors and not a forecast of any race.

A Senate or House committee with a large FEC report can dominate a state total when the roster is 687 rather than several thousand. The Louisiana hub’s receipt sort shows which committees hold the $80.0 million. The party split will move if those large committees amend their filings.

Cite $69.3 million of $80.0 million as a party-code fact about 687 candidate committees in cycle 2026. Do not cite it as a description of 69,037 donors or of $501.4 million in individual contributions. Those are a different FEC series.

687 filers and what that count includes

The candidate count of 687 includes primary fields, residual committees, and other federal filers with a Louisiana association on the FEC record. It is not a count of people on a November ballot. Many of the 687 hold little of the $80.0 million. Dropping small committees from the roster would change the count without changing the dollar total much; this page does not do that. The FEC file is the inventory.

Independent expenditures about Louisiana candidates sit outside the $80.0 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 Louisiana can move 86.7% without any change in voter files, polls, or the $501.4 million donor total. LobbyVault will show the new receipts on the Louisiana FEC totals page. This prose does not invent a later number.

Louisiana donors: $501.4 million from 69,037 people

The individual contribution total of $501.4 million exceeds the $80.0 million candidate book, as donor series usually do. Louisiana residents give to national PACs and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain in the donor aggregate. The multiple is smaller than in donor-export states such as Virginia or Massachusetts in this file.

Sixty-nine thousand thirty-seven donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation and employer strings live on the underlying rows. This state summary does not re-tabulate them into industry totals.

State ethics filings are separate

Louisiana state-office campaigns file under state ethics rules, not with the FEC. Those reports are not in the $80.0 million or the $501.4 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Louisiana FEC totals

The Louisiana FEC totals page carries the live 2026 aggregates. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories open the same bulk data. Source for every dollar figure on this guide is FEC.gov as indexed on LobbyVault.

Reading a 86.7% Republican candidate-receipt share

Republican candidate committees in Louisiana reported $69.3 million, which is 86.7% of $80.0 million. Democratic committees reported $10.6 million (13.3%). Other filers reported $72,833 (0.1%). That is a lopsided candidate-receipt table. It is not a lopsided donor table, because the 69,037 donors who account for $501.4 million are not coded by party in this aggregate. It is not a forecast of any race.

687 federal candidate committees produced $80.0 million. A small set of those committees can hold most of $69.3 million. The Louisiana 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 Louisiana candidate sit outside $80.0 million, including outside the $69.3 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 $501.4 million donor stream.

The Louisiana FEC totals page carries the 687 candidates, $80.0 million receipts, party split of $10.6 million / $69.3 million / $72,833, $501.4 million donated, and 69,037 donors. That is the overlay hub. The candidate directory lists filers by FEC ID. The PAC directory and Super PAC tracker cover the committees that absorb much of $501.4 million when it does not land in a candidate committee.

None of those four views estimates influence or assigns motive. They index public reports. If a number on this guide is later amended on FEC.gov, the hub should move and the printed snapshot here becomes stale. That is expected in an open cycle.

Independent expenditures remain a Super PAC disclosure, not a candidate-receipt line. A Super PAC ad about a Louisiana candidate can be large and still sit outside $80.0 million. Check the Super PAC tracker before treating $80.0 million as “all money in Louisiana federal races.”
