Oregon’s $28.1M candidate book, 80% Democratic on FEC filings

Democratic committees hold $22.5 million of $28.1 million

Democratic candidate receipts are 80.0% of Oregon’s $28.1 million. Republican receipts of $5.5 million are 19.6%. Other-party receipts of $110,170 are 0.4%. That is a lopsided candidate-receipt split. It is not a partisan coding of the 51,006 donors. An Oregon contributor to a Super PAC does not inherit a Democratic label in this aggregate.

Six hundred eighty federal candidate committees produced the $28.1 million. House districts, a Senate line, and other federal filers sit in that roster. Sorting the Oregon hub by receipts isolates the committees that hold most of the $22.5 million Democratic line.

When a sentence about Oregon needs a party share, use $22.5 million of $28.1 million (80.0%) and name it as candidate receipts. When the sentence is about money originating in Oregon, use $358.1 million and 51,006. Mixing the two produces a false headline.

Oregon donors: $358.1 million from 51,006 people

The individual contribution total of $358.1 million exceeds the $28.1 million candidate book. Oregon residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain Oregon donor dollars. The donor series does not inherit the 80.0% Democratic candidate-receipt share.

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

Cycle 2026 filings continue. Refunds, redesignations, and amendments can move $28.1 million and 80.0%. They can also move $358.1 million. The Oregon FEC totals page is the live table. FEC.gov remains the underlying source.

Receipts versus independent spending

The $28.1 million measures what candidate committees reported receiving. Super PAC ads that mention an Oregon candidate can be financed from the $358.1 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 Oregon donor dollars that never appear as candidate receipts.

ORESTAR filings are separate

Oregon state-office campaigns file through ORESTAR with the Secretary of State. Those reports are not in the $28.1 million or the $358.1 million. This page is federal 2026-cycle data from FEC.gov.

Oregon FEC totals

The Oregon 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 only.

Reading a 80.0% Democratic candidate-receipt share

Democratic candidate committees in Oregon reported $22.5 million, which is 80.0% of $28.1 million. Republican committees reported $5.5 million (19.6%). Other filers reported $110,170 (0.4%). That is a lopsided candidate-receipt table. It is not a map of the 51,006 donors behind $358.1 million. Individual contribution records in this aggregate do not assign a party to the donor.

The 680 committees behind $28.1 million include House, Senate, and other federal filers with a Oregon association on the FEC record. Filer count is an inventory. Receipts are the dollar fact. Sorting the Oregon hub by receipts isolates the committees that hold most of $22.5 million.

$358.1 million from 51,006 contributors is the donor series. Much of it can leave Oregon candidate committees for PACs and out-of-state races and still remain Oregon donor money. The PAC directory and Super PAC tracker cover those recipients. Candidate receipts of $28.1 million do not.

The Oregon FEC totals page carries the 680 candidates, $28.1 million receipts, party split of $22.5 million / $5.5 million / $110,170, $358.1 million donated, and 51,006 donors. That is the overlay hub. The candidate directory lists filers by FEC ID. The PAC directory and Super PAC tracker cover the committees that absorb much of $358.1 million when it does not land in a candidate committee.

None of those four views estimates influence or assigns motive. They index public reports. If a number on this guide is later amended on FEC.gov, the hub should move and the printed snapshot here becomes stale. That is expected in an open cycle.

Independent expenditures remain a Super PAC disclosure, not a candidate-receipt line. A Super PAC ad about a Oregon candidate can be large and still sit outside $28.1 million. Check the Super PAC tracker before treating $28.1 million as “all money in Oregon federal races.”
