Republican $13.9 million, Democratic $5.1 million

Republican candidate receipts are 72.3% of Mississippi’s $19.2 million. Democratic receipts of $5.1 million are 26.8%. Other-party receipts of $175,191 are 0.9%. The split is a party-code roll-up of 476 committees. It is not a map of the 29,161 donors and not a statement about any specific race’s outcome.

Four hundred seventy-six federal candidate committees sit behind the $19.2 million. The count includes House districts, statewide Senate activity, and other federal filers tagged to Mississippi in the FEC candidate file. Receipts, not filer count, show which campaigns moved money.

A complete citation for Mississippi names both $19.2 million in candidate receipts across 476 filers and $196.9 million from 29,161 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.

Mississippi donors: $196.9 million from 29,161 people

The individual contribution total of $196.9 million exceeds the $19.2 million candidate book. Mississippi residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain Mississippi donor dollars. The donor series does not inherit the 72.3% Republican candidate-receipt share.

Twenty-nine thousand one hundred sixty-one 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 Mississippi hub disagrees with this guide, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Mississippi’s cycle-2026 candidate file is a receipt file. $19.2 million is inflows reported by 476 committees, not cash on hand and not money spent on ads. A committee can report receipts that still sit unspent. The Mississippi hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without inventing a statistic that is not in the packet.
