Nevada donors: $596.4M from 41,829 people; candidates reported $33.3M

A large donor book on a modest contributor count

Forty-one thousand eight hundred twenty-nine Nevada donors and $596.4 million in contributions is a high dollar total for the size of the contributor file in this extract. The $33.3 million candidate-receipt total does not explain that donor book. Nevada addresses fund national PACs, Super PACs, party committees, and campaigns in other states. Those gifts stay in the donor aggregate.

Treating $596.4 million as “what Nevada campaigns raised” would overstate the candidate series by hundreds of millions of dollars. Treating $33.3 million as “all Nevada political money” would hide the outbound donor flow.

Keep $33.3 million and $596.4 million on separate lines when citing Nevada. Adding them double-counts gifts that Nevada donors made to Nevada candidate committees. Subtracting them hides the outbound PAC flow. The honest citation is two FEC series for cycle 2026.

Candidate receipts: Republican $20.5 million, Democratic $12.6 million

Republican candidate receipts are 61.8% of Nevada’s $33.3 million. Democratic receipts of $12.6 million are 37.9%. Other-party receipts are $102,615 (0.3%). Party codes attach to the 666 candidate committees, not to the 41,829 donors.

Six hundred sixty-six federal candidate committees produced the $33.3 million. House districts, a Senate line, and other federal filers sit in that roster. Sorting the Nevada hub by receipts isolates the committees that hold most of the money.

Cycle 2026 is open. An amended candidate report moves $33.3 million and the party split. A restated individual file moves $596.4 million and 41,829. The Nevada FEC totals page is the live view. This guide’s printed figures are a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

PACs sit between the two ledgers

The gap between $596.4 million donated and $33.3 million in candidate receipts is where PAC and Super PAC receipts live, along with out-of-state candidate committees. The PAC directory and Super PAC tracker are companion views, not optional extras, on a Nevada page.

Independent expenditures that mention a Nevada candidate can be financed by donors in other states and would not appear as Nevada candidate receipts.

Nevada Secretary of State filings

State-office campaigns in Nevada file with the Secretary of State. Those reports are not in the $33.3 million or the $596.4 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Nevada FEC totals

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

Nevada as a donor address, not just a candidate book

The $596.4 million individual contribution total from 41,829 Nevada contributors is the number that answers “how much federal political money is tied to Nevada addresses.” The $33.3 million candidate-receipt total from 666 committees is the number that answers “how much Nevada-tagged campaigns booked.” Using either number for the other question is a category error. FEC.gov stores the two series in different files. LobbyVault prints both on the NV hub.

Most of $596.4 million did not land in the 666 candidate committees. It landed in PACs, Super PACs, party committees, and campaigns that file in other states. The PAC directory and Super PAC tracker are therefore not sidebars on a Nevada page. They are where a large share of $596.4 million went. Independent expenditures that mention a Nevada candidate can still be financed by donors outside Nevada and would not appear in either Nevada total.

Party splits on the candidate book — Democratic $12.6 million (37.9%), Republican $20.5 million (61.8%), other $102,615 (0.3%) — do not describe the 41,829 donors. Individual contribution rows do not carry a donor party field in this aggregate. A Nevada address on a Super PAC gift is a Nevada donor dollar, not a Democratic or Republican donor dollar.

Every dollar figure on this Nevada guide is a 2026-cycle snapshot from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Committees still file. Refunds and redesignations still post. The 666-committee inventory can lengthen. $33.3 million can rise or fall. $596.4 million from 41,829 donors can move when the individual contribution extract is rebuilt.

State-office campaigns in Nevada file under state law, not with the FEC. Those reports are outside $33.3 million and outside $596.4 million. Mixing federal and state disclosure systems produces a total that no agency published. This page stays on FEC.gov.

The live Nevada 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 $33.3 million or $596.4 million after you load the page.
