Missouri’s $56.0M candidate book, Democratic by $2.0M

Missouri federal candidates reported $56.0 million in receipts for the 2026 cycle, with Democratic committees at $28.8 million and Republican committees at $26.8 million. The two major-party lines are about $2.0 million apart. Other filers reported $364,128. The roster is 1,122 federal candidate committees — a long list relative to the dollar total. Missouri donors account for $649.4 million from 78,113 contributors, a separate FEC.gov series.

A close receipt split on a long roster

Democratic candidate receipts are 51.5% of Missouri’s $56.0 million. Republican receipts are 47.9%. Other-party receipts of $364,128 are 0.7%. The Democratic edge is small enough that a single large amended report could narrow or reverse it. LobbyVault reports the numbers as filed and does not treat the split as a forecast of any Missouri race.

One thousand one hundred twenty-two committees produced those receipts. Filer count overstates the number of campaigns that hold meaningful cash. Sorting the Missouri hub by receipts, not by district number, shows which FEC IDs sit behind the $56.0 million.

Treat Missouri’s candidate book as competitive on paper because $28.8 million and $26.8 million are close, and treat that observation as a filing fact, not as a race rating. The 1,122 committees and the 78,113 donors are still two files.

Missouri donors: $649.4 million from 78,113 people

The individual contribution total of $649.4 million exceeds the $56.0 million candidate book. Missouri residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain Missouri donor dollars. They do not inherit the 51.5% Democratic candidate-receipt share. Donor party is not a field in this aggregate.

Seventy-eight thousand one hundred thirteen donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation strings live on the underlying rows. This state summary does not re-tabulate them into industry totals.

If a later FEC extract widens or closes the $28.8 million / $26.8 million gap, the Missouri FEC totals page will show it. This guide’s printed $56.0 million is a snapshot. PAC and Super PAC directories remain the tables for money that never entered a candidate committee.

Receipts versus independent spending

The $56.0 million measures what candidate committees reported receiving. Super PAC ads that mention a Missouri candidate can be financed from the $649.4 million donor stream or from donors in other states and still sit outside the candidate total. The Super PAC tracker is the table for that spending.

PAC directories cover the committees that often receive a share of Missouri donor dollars that never appear as candidate receipts.

Missouri Ethics Commission is a different system

State-office campaigns in Missouri file with the Ethics Commission. Those reports are not in the $56.0 million or the $649.4 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Missouri FEC totals

The Missouri 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: 1,122 candidates, $56.0 million raised, $28.8 million Democratic, $26.8 million Republican, $364,128 other, $649.4 million donated, 78,113 donors.

A close party split on $56.0 million in candidate receipts

Democratic candidate receipts of $28.8 million (51.5%) and Republican receipts of $26.8 million (47.9%) sit close together on Missouri’s $56.0 million book. Other-party receipts are $364,128 (0.7%). A gap that small can reverse after one amended report from a large committee. LobbyVault reports the numbers as filed. It does not treat 51.5% / 47.9% as a prediction.

1,122 federal candidate committees produced those receipts. Many hold little of $56.0 million. The Missouri hub’s receipt sort, not the raw filer count, shows which campaigns moved money. The candidate directory attaches FEC IDs so an original report can be opened.

$649.4 million from 78,113 Missouri donors remains a separate series. The close party split on candidate receipts does not describe those donors. Super PAC and PAC gifts from Missouri addresses sit in $649.4 million and sit outside $56.0 million unless they were contributed to a Missouri-tagged candidate committee.

Every dollar figure on this Missouri guide is a 2026-cycle snapshot from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Committees still file. Refunds and redesignations still post. The 1,122-committee inventory can lengthen. $56.0 million can rise or fall. $649.4 million from 78,113 donors can move when the individual contribution extract is rebuilt.

State-office campaigns in Missouri file under state law, not with the FEC. Those reports are outside $56.0 million and outside $649.4 million. Mixing federal and state disclosure systems produces a total that no agency published. This page stays on FEC.gov.

The live Missouri 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 $56.0 million or $649.4 million after you load the page.
