North Dakota’s 124 federal filers reported $4.8M in 2026 receipts

The shortest roster, a three-way split

One hundred twenty-four federal candidate committees produced $4.8 million in receipts. House, Senate, and other federal filers tagged to North Dakota sit in that inventory. A short roster still includes primary filers and residual committees. Filer count is not a November ballot. Sorting the North Dakota hub by receipts shows which FEC IDs hold the $3.9 million Republican line.

Other-party receipts of $552,604 are 11.5% of the book — larger than the Democratic line of $317,808. The FEC party field on those other committees is not Democratic and not Republican. LobbyVault does not relabel them. A two-party-only chart of North Dakota would hide more than a tenth of the candidate book.

Read North Dakota as a three-column receipt table: $317,808 Democratic, $3.9 million Republican, $552,604 other. Skipping the third column hides 11.5% of $4.8 million. The 124 filers and the 9,738 donors are still two populations. Cycle 2026 filings on FEC.gov are the source for every figure.

North Dakota donors: $72.1 million from 9,738 people

The individual contribution total of $72.1 million exceeds the $4.8 million candidate book. North Dakota residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain North Dakota donor dollars. The donor series does not inherit the 81.9% Republican candidate-receipt share. Donor party is not a field in this aggregate.

Nine thousand seven hundred thirty-eight donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation strings live on the underlying rows.

If an FEC amendment re-tags a committee’s party code, $552,604 will move and 6.6% / 81.9% will move with it. Until that happens, the three-way split is the accurate description of North Dakota candidate receipts. The $72.1 million donor total will not move just because a party code changed.

What $4.8 million omits

Candidate receipts do not include independent expenditures by Super PACs, even when the ads name a North Dakota candidate. They do not include North Dakota Secretary of State filings for state offices. They do not include unreported activity.

PAC directories are the next table if the question is where a share of the $72.1 million went after it left a North Dakota address.

Secretary of State filings are separate

North Dakota state-office campaigns file with the Secretary of State. Those reports are not in the $4.8 million or the $72.1 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

North Dakota FEC totals

The North Dakota FEC totals page holds the live 2026 table: $3.9 million Republican, $552,604 other, $317,808 Democratic. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories share the same FEC.gov backbone. Numbers cited here are packet facts only.

Why North Dakota’s other-party line is not a rounding error

Other-party candidate receipts in North Dakota are $552,604, or 11.5% of the $4.8 million candidate book. That slice is large enough that a two-party chart would misstate the FEC file. The party code on those committees is not Democratic and not Republican. LobbyVault leaves $552,604 in the other column. Democratic receipts are $317,808 (6.6%). Republican receipts are $3.9 million (81.9%). All three numbers are required to reconstitute $4.8 million.

The 124 candidate committees include whatever filers carry that other-party code. Sorting the North Dakota hub by receipts is the way to see whether $552,604 sits in one committee or many. This page does not name those committees, because the packet facts are state totals, not a committee roster. The live table holds the FEC IDs.

Donors are a separate file. North Dakota contributors account for $72.1 million from 9,738 people. That donor series does not inherit the 11.5% other-party share. A donor who gave to a Super PAC is not assigned the other-party label just because North Dakota candidate receipts have a large other column. Party codes sit on candidate registrations.

This page does not claim that 6.6% of North Dakota donors are Democratic or that 81.9% are Republican. Those percentages apply to candidate receipts of $317,808 and $3.9 million out of $4.8 million. It does not claim that $72.1 million was spent in North Dakota. Donor dollars follow the recipient committee, which may file anywhere.

It does not claim that 124 candidates will appear on a general-election ballot. It does not convert $552,604 into a named third party. It does not add $4.8 million to $72.1 million. 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 North Dakota, and the North Dakota hub plus the candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories are the tables behind them.
