424 committees and $30.6 million in receipts
Four hundred twenty-four federal candidate committees produced $30.6 million in receipts. The roster includes House, Senate, presidential, and other federal filers with a New Hampshire association on the FEC record. Filer count is an inventory. Receipts of $30.6 million are the dollar fact. Presidential committees that list New Hampshire activity can sit in the 424 without representing a New Hampshire House campaign.
Democratic candidate receipts of $19.1 million are 62.3% of the book. Republican receipts of $11.5 million are 37.6%. Other-party receipts of $31,889 are 0.1%. Party codes attach to candidate committees, not to the 23,818 donors.
A complete citation for New Hampshire names both $30.6 million in candidate receipts across 424 filers and $277.3 million from 23,818 donors, then stops. Adding a third invented total is how these pages go wrong.
New Hampshire donors: $277.3 million from 23,818 people
The individual contribution total of $277.3 million exceeds the $30.6 million candidate book. New Hampshire residents give to national PACs, Super PACs, and out-of-state campaigns; those gifts remain New Hampshire donor dollars. The multiple is smaller than in Massachusetts in this extract and larger than in Maine.
Twenty-three thousand eight hundred eighteen donors is the FEC contributor count. Occupation fields live on the underlying rows. This state summary does not re-tabulate them.
Cycle 2026 remains open. Amendments move Form 3 receipts. Restated individual files move donor aggregates. If the live New Hampshire hub disagrees with this guide, the hub and FEC.gov control.
New Hampshire’s cycle-2026 candidate file is a receipt file. $30.6 million is inflows reported by 424 committees, not cash on hand and not money spent on ads. A committee can report receipts that still sit unspent. The New Hampshire hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without inventing a statistic that is not in the packet.
