Mississippi federal candidates reported $19.2M in 2026 receipts

Mississippi-associated federal candidates reported $19.2 million in receipts for the 2026 cycle on FEC.gov. Republican committees hold $13.9 million of that book; Democratic committees hold $5.1 million; other filers hold $175,191. The roster is 476 federal candidate committees. Mississippi donors account for $196.9 million from 29,161 contributors — a separate series that includes gifts to PACs and campaigns outside Mississippi.

Republican $13.9 million, Democratic $5.1 million

Republican candidate receipts are 72.3% of Mississippi’s $19.2 million. Democratic receipts of $5.1 million are 26.8%. Other-party receipts of $175,191 are 0.9%. The split is a party-code roll-up of 476 committees. It is not a map of the 29,161 donors and not a statement about any specific race’s outcome.

Four hundred seventy-six federal candidate committees sit behind the $19.2 million. The count includes House districts, statewide Senate activity, and other federal filers tagged to Mississippi in the FEC candidate file. Receipts, not filer count, show which campaigns moved money.

A complete citation for Mississippi names both $19.2 million in candidate receipts across 476 filers and $196.9 million from 29,161 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

Mississippi donors: $196.9 million from 29,161 people

The individual contribution total of $196.9 million exceeds the $19.2 million candidate book. Mississippi residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain Mississippi donor dollars. The donor series does not inherit the 72.3% Republican candidate-receipt share.

Twenty-nine thousand one hundred sixty-one donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation and employer fields live on the underlying rows, not in this state summary.

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

Mississippi’s cycle-2026 candidate file is a receipt file. $19.2 million is inflows reported by 476 committees, not cash on hand and not money spent on ads. A committee can report receipts that still sit unspent. The Mississippi hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without inventing a statistic that is not in the packet.

Receipts versus independent spending

The $19.2 million measures what candidate committees reported receiving. Super PAC ads that mention a Mississippi candidate can sit outside that total. The Super PAC tracker is the table for that spending. PAC directories cover the committees that often receive a share of the $196.9 million donor stream.

Mississippi state-office campaigns file with the Secretary of State. Those reports are not in the $19.2 million or the $196.9 million.

Individual contributions of $196.9 million from 29,161 Mississippi donors include itemized gifts disclosed to the FEC. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold are not a separate field in this state packet. This guide therefore does not state an unitemized total. It states $196.9 million and 29,161 as the donor-series facts.

Mississippi FEC totals

The Mississippi FEC totals page holds the live 2026 table. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories share FEC.gov as the source. Numbers on this guide are packet facts only.

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

The packet for Mississippi contains seven quantitative fields for cycle 2026: 476 candidates, $19.2 million in candidate receipts, $5.1 million Democratic, $13.9 million Republican, $175,191 other, $196.9 million donated, and 29,161 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 $19.2 million can include individual gifts, PAC transfers, and other inflows a campaign discloses. They do not include Super PAC ads. Donor totals of $196.9 million count itemized individual contributions originating from Mississippi regardless of the recipient. The two series overlap only where a Mississippi donor gave to a Mississippi-tagged candidate committee.

Party shares — 26.8% Democratic, 72.3% Republican, 0.9% other — are receipt shares. They are not donor shares. The Mississippi 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.

A 2026-cycle snapshot, not a certified close

Every dollar figure on this Mississippi guide is a 2026-cycle snapshot from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Committees still file. Refunds and redesignations still post. The 476-committee inventory can lengthen. $19.2 million can rise or fall. $196.9 million from 29,161 donors can move when the individual contribution extract is rebuilt.

State-office campaigns in Mississippi file under state law, not with the FEC. Those reports are outside $19.2 million and outside $196.9 million. Mixing federal and state disclosure systems produces a total that no agency published. This page stays on FEC.gov.

The live Mississippi 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 $19.2 million or $196.9 million after you load the page.
