Wisconsin federal candidates reported $34.3M in 2026 receipts

Republican $20.5 million, Democratic $13.8 million

Republican candidate receipts are 59.6% of Wisconsin’s $34.3 million. Democratic receipts of $13.8 million are 40.2%. Other-party receipts of $65,170 are 0.2%. The Republican edge on the candidate book is about $6.7 million. That is a fact about committee filings, not a statement about Wisconsin’s electoral map or about the 60,343 donors.

Seven hundred thirteen federal candidate committees sit behind the $34.3 million. The count includes House districts, statewide Senate activity, and other federal filers tagged to Wisconsin in the FEC candidate file. A long roster does not mean every committee is active in a general election.

A complete citation for Wisconsin names both $34.3 million in candidate receipts across 713 filers and $514.4 million from 60,343 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

Wisconsin donors: $514.4 million

The individual contribution total of $514.4 million from 60,343 donors exceeds the $34.3 million candidate book. Wisconsin residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns. Those gifts remain Wisconsin donor dollars in the FEC individual file. They do not inherit the 59.6% Republican candidate-receipt share.

Sixty thousand three hundred forty-three donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation and employer fields live on the underlying rows, not in this state summary.

Cycle 2026 remains open. Amendments move Form 3 receipts. Restated individual files move donor aggregates. If the live Wisconsin hub disagrees with this guide, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Wisconsin’s cycle-2026 candidate file is a receipt file. $34.3 million is inflows reported by 713 committees, not cash on hand and not money spent on ads. A committee can report receipts that still sit unspent. The Wisconsin hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without inventing a statistic that is not in the packet.

Independent spending is a different table

The $34.3 million measures candidate-committee receipts. Super PAC ads that mention a Wisconsin candidate can exceed a campaign’s own receipts and still sit outside this total. The Super PAC tracker is the table for that spending. PAC directories cover the committees that often receive a share of the $514.4 million donor stream.

State-office campaigns in Wisconsin file with the state campaign-finance system, not the FEC. Those reports are not in the $34.3 million or the $514.4 million.

Wisconsin FEC totals page

The live Wisconsin table carries the 713-candidate roster and the party split used here. Candidate, PAC, and Super PAC directories share FEC.gov as the source. If a later amendment moves a large Wisconsin committee’s receipts, the hub updates; this guide does not invent a newer $34.3 million.

Putting Wisconsin’s FEC fields on one page without mixing them

The packet for Wisconsin contains seven quantitative fields for cycle 2026: 713 candidates, $34.3 million in candidate receipts, $13.8 million Democratic, $20.5 million Republican, $65,170 other, $514.4 million donated, and 60,343 donors. This guide cites those fields and percentages computed from them. It does not cite poll numbers, independent-expenditure totals, or state-office filings, because those are not in the packet.

Candidate receipts of $34.3 million can include individual gifts, PAC transfers, and other inflows a campaign discloses. They do not include Super PAC ads. Donor totals of $514.4 million count itemized individual contributions originating from Wisconsin regardless of the recipient. The two series overlap only where a Wisconsin donor gave to a Wisconsin-tagged candidate committee.

Party shares — 40.2% Democratic, 59.6% Republican, 0.2% other — are receipt shares. They are not donor shares. The Wisconsin FEC totals page, the candidate directory, the PAC directory, and the Super PAC tracker are the four LobbyVault views that share FEC.gov as the source.

A 2026-cycle snapshot, not a certified close

Every dollar figure on this Wisconsin guide is a 2026-cycle snapshot from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Committees still file. Refunds and redesignations still post. The 713-committee inventory can lengthen. $34.3 million can rise or fall. $514.4 million from 60,343 donors can move when the individual contribution extract is rebuilt.

State-office campaigns in Wisconsin file under state law, not with the FEC. Those reports are outside $34.3 million and outside $514.4 million. Mixing federal and state disclosure systems produces a total that no agency published. This page stays on FEC.gov.

The live Wisconsin 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 $34.3 million or $514.4 million after you load the page.
