Republican $17.3 million, Democratic $6.2 million

Republican candidate receipts are 73.2% of Kansas’s $23.7 million. Democratic receipts of $6.2 million are 26.4%. Other-party receipts of $111,994 are 0.5%. The split is a party-code roll-up of 482 committees. It is not a map of the 38,335 donors and not a forecast of any race.

A Senate committee or a small set of House committees can hold most of $23.7 million. The Kansas hub’s receipt sort shows which FEC IDs sit behind the $17.3 million Republican line.

A complete citation for Kansas names both $23.7 million in candidate receipts across 482 filers and $329.1 million from 38,335 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

482 filers behind $23.7 million

The candidate count of 482 includes House, Senate, and other federal filers with a Kansas association on the FEC record. Many of those committees hold little of the $23.7 million. Filer count is an inventory, not a November ballot.

Independent expenditures that mention a Kansas candidate sit outside the $23.7 million. Those amounts, when disclosed, belong to the Super PAC or PAC that paid for them.

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

Kansas’s cycle-2026 candidate file is a receipt file. $23.7 million is inflows reported by 482 committees, not cash on hand and not money spent on ads. A committee can report receipts that still sit unspent. The Kansas hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without inventing a statistic that is not in the packet.
