Utah’s 623 federal filers reported $14.2M in 2026 receipts

Many committees, $14.2 million in receipts

Six hundred twenty-three candidates is a high filing count for $14.2 million in receipts. House, Senate, and other federal filers tagged to Utah — including primary and residual committees — sit in that inventory. Filer count is not cash. Most of the $14.2 million sits in a smaller set of committees. The Utah hub’s receipt sort is the practical view.

Republican candidate receipts of $10.7 million are 75.3% of the book. Democratic receipts of $3.4 million are 23.7%. Other-party receipts of $144,884 are 1.0%. Party codes attach to candidate committees, not to the 26,857 donors.

Keep $14.2 million and $215.7 million on separate lines when citing Utah. Adding them double-counts gifts that Utah donors made to Utah candidate committees. Subtracting them hides the outbound PAC flow. The honest citation is two FEC series for cycle 2026.

Utah donors: $215.7 million from 26,857 people

The individual contribution total of $215.7 million exceeds the $14.2 million candidate book by a wide margin. Utah addresses fund national PACs, Super PACs, party committees, and campaigns in other states. Those gifts remain Utah donor dollars. They do not inherit the 75.3% Republican candidate-receipt share.

Twenty-six thousand eight hundred fifty-seven donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation strings live on the underlying rows.

Cycle 2026 is open. An amended candidate report moves $14.2 million and the party split. A restated individual file moves $215.7 million and 26,857. The Utah FEC totals page is the live view. This guide’s printed figures are a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Independent spending is a different table

The $14.2 million measures candidate-committee receipts. Super PAC ads that mention a Utah 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 $215.7 million donor stream.

Utah state-office campaigns file with the Lieutenant Governor’s office. Those reports are not in the $14.2 million or the $215.7 million.

Utah FEC totals

The Utah 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.

Utah as a donor address, not just a candidate book

The $215.7 million individual contribution total from 26,857 Utah contributors is the number that answers “how much federal political money is tied to Utah addresses.” The $14.2 million candidate-receipt total from 623 committees is the number that answers “how much Utah-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 UT hub.

Most of $215.7 million did not land in the 623 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 Utah page. They are where a large share of $215.7 million went. Independent expenditures that mention a Utah candidate can still be financed by donors outside Utah and would not appear in either Utah total.

Party splits on the candidate book — Democratic $3.4 million (23.7%), Republican $10.7 million (75.3%), other $144,884 (1.0%) — do not describe the 26,857 donors. Individual contribution rows do not carry a donor party field in this aggregate. A Utah address on a Super PAC gift is a Utah donor dollar, not a Democratic or Republican donor dollar.

Four tables, one source: FEC.gov

The Utah FEC totals page carries the 623 candidates, $14.2 million receipts, party split of $3.4 million / $10.7 million / $144,884, $215.7 million donated, and 26,857 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 $215.7 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 Utah candidate can be large and still sit outside $14.2 million. Check the Super PAC tracker before treating $14.2 million as “all money in Utah federal races.”

Questions

How much have Utah federal candidates raised in 2026?

Utah-associated federal candidate committees reported $14.2 million in receipts across 623 filers. Republican committees reported $10.7 million and Democratic committees reported $3.4 million, per FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault.

How much have Utah donors given federally?

Individual contribution aggregates show $215.7 million from 26,857 Utah donors. That series includes gifts to PACs and out-of-state campaigns and is much larger than the $14.2 million in candidate receipts.

What share of Utah candidate receipts is Republican?

Republican candidate committees reported $10.7 million, or 75.3% of the $14.2 million total. Democratic committees reported $3.4 million (23.7%) and other filers $144,884. Party codes sit on candidate committees, not on donors.

Are Utah state races included?

No. These figures are FEC.gov federal data. Utah state-office filings with the Lieutenant Governor are not part of the $14.2 million or $215.7 million.
