Michigan 2026 FEC receipts: $107.6M across 1,612 candidates

Democratic committees hold 61.1% of candidate receipts

The $65.7 million Democratic line is 61.1% of Michigan’s $107.6 million candidate book. The $41.0 million Republican line is 38.1%. Other-party receipts are $849,457 (0.8%) — a larger other-party slice than Ohio or Pennsylvania in this extract, still less than one percent of the state total. Party codes come from candidate registrations, not from the 125,027 donors.

One thousand six hundred twelve federal candidate committees produced those receipts. House, Senate, and other federal filers tagged to Michigan all sit in that count. Filer count overstates the number of campaigns that hold meaningful cash. The Michigan hub’s receipt sort is the practical view.

A complete citation for Michigan names both $107.6 million in candidate receipts across 1,612 filers and $1.06 billion from 125,027 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

$1.06 billion in Michigan donor contributions

Individual contributions attributed to Michigan total $1.06 billion. That is roughly ten times the $107.6 million candidate book, in line with other large industrial states in this file. Michigan residents fund national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state candidates; those gifts remain Michigan donor dollars in the FEC individual contribution aggregate.

One hundred twenty-five thousand twenty-seven donors is the contributor count. It is not a unique-person census and it is not a union-membership file. Occupation strings on the underlying rows can be grouped on occupation pages elsewhere on LobbyVault; this state summary does not re-tabulate them.

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

Receipts versus independent spending

The $107.6 million measures what candidate committees reported receiving. It does not measure what Super PACs spent mentioning Michigan candidates. Those independent expenditures can exceed a campaign’s own receipts in a given race and still sit outside this total. The Super PAC tracker is the table for that question.

PAC directories matter for the $1.06 billion donor series, because a large share of individual gifts never lands in a candidate committee.

Michigan Bureau of Elections is a different system

State-office campaigns in Michigan file with the Bureau of Elections. Those reports are not in the $107.6 million or the $1.06 billion. Mixing FEC and state totals would blend two legal regimes. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Michigan FEC totals page

The live Michigan table carries the 1,612-candidate roster and the party split used here. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories open the same FEC.gov bulk data. If a later amendment moves a large Michigan committee’s receipts, the hub updates from the source; this guide does not invent a newer number.

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

The packet for Michigan contains seven quantitative fields for cycle 2026: 1,612 candidates, $107.6 million in candidate receipts, $65.7 million Democratic, $41.0 million Republican, $849,457 other, $1.06 billion donated, and 125,027 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 $107.6 million can include individual gifts, PAC transfers, and other inflows a campaign discloses. They do not include Super PAC ads. Donor totals of $1.06 billion count itemized individual contributions originating from Michigan regardless of the recipient. The two series overlap only where a Michigan donor gave to a Michigan-tagged candidate committee.

Party shares — 61.1% Democratic, 38.1% Republican, 0.8% other — are receipt shares. They are not donor shares. The Michigan 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.

This page does not claim that 61.1% of Michigan donors are Democratic or that 38.1% are Republican. Those percentages apply to candidate receipts of $65.7 million and $41.0 million out of $107.6 million. It does not claim that $1.06 billion was spent in Michigan. Donor dollars follow the recipient committee, which may file anywhere.

It does not claim that 1,612 candidates will appear on a general-election ballot. It does not convert $849,457 into a named third party. It does not add $107.6 million to $1.06 billion. It does not include state-office money.

What it does claim is narrower: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault show these 2026-cycle totals for Michigan, and the Michigan hub plus the candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories are the tables behind them.

How much have Michigan donors given federally?

Are Michigan state races included?

No. These figures are FEC.gov federal data for the 2026 cycle. Michigan state-office filings with the Bureau of Elections are not part of the $107.6 million or $1.06 billion.
