Cycle 2026 receipts for Maryland offices
Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2026, and office state MD (Maryland). Only rows that match both produce $33,258,232.19 from 40 candidates. The 2026 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $2,096,542,958.74. The Maryland campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $33,258,232.19 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2026 would still mix states. A restatement of Maryland would still mix years.
Office state is the geography of the federal seat on the FEC candidate master, not the donor’s mailing address. Money raised by a Maryland office-state candidate can come from any state. Maryland’s office-state code is MD. This 2026 page is not the 2012 Maryland extract. 2026 is the even-year cycle tag on this extract. It is a two-year FEC window, not a single primary date. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $33,258,232.19 by House, Senate, or presidential line.
Forty Maryland office-state candidates produced $33,258,232.19. Mean receipts are about $831,455.80 per candidate. Amended filings can move either the dollar column or the count. The national 2026 tally is 2,430 candidates. Maryland’s candidate count is 1.65% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 1.59% of $2,096,542,958.74. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $831,455.80 per candidate ($33,258,232.19 ÷ 40). The national mean is about $862,774.88 ($2,096,542,958.74 ÷ 2,430). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.
Maryland’s $33,258,232.19 in the 2026 office-state cell
$33,258,232.19 is Maryland candidate receipts inside cycle 2026 only. It is not Maryland’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Maryland residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $2,096,542,958.74 as a Maryland figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $33,258,232.19 as the 2026 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.
40 is the candidate count attached to office state MD in 2026. Names are not in the packet and are not invented. Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them. Use the Maryland state hub without a year for the state overlay; use the 2026 cycle hub without a state for the national overlay; use this URL for the join.
National 2026 candidate receipts of $2,096,542,958.74
$2,096,542,958.74 is the national 2026 candidate-receipt total across 2,430 candidates. Subtracting the Maryland cell leaves $2,063,284,726.55 in other office states. 1.59% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 1.65% is a candidate-count share only. 2026 is a even-year two-year FEC window in calendar terms; that label does not split $2,096,542,958.74 by office type.
The 2026 cycle page still includes every other state. Independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and unitemized receipts are other FEC tables. They are not mixed into $33,258,232.19 or $2,096,542,958.74. Federal contract and grant amounts live in USAspending, a different dataset. Sharing a calendar year does not turn these receipts into awards.
Forty Maryland candidates against 2,430 nationally
$33,258,232.19 ÷ $2,096,542,958.74 = 1.59%. $2,063,284,726.55 ÷ $2,096,542,958.74 = 98.41%. 40 ÷ 2,430 = 1.65%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Maryland ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $33,258,232.19 to $2,096,542,958.74.
Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $33,258,232.19 always travels with Maryland, MD, 2026, and 40 candidates. $2,096,542,958.74 always travels with the national 2026 cycle and 2,430 candidates. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.
A 2026 tag is not a finished Tuesday
This page does not rank Maryland against other states, does not score votes, and does not treat receipts as cash on hand. Correlation is not causation. A two-column match is bookkeeping. Candidate names, donor names, and party splits are absent from the facts. Do not treat $33,258,232.19 as a locked general-election total. Cycle aggregates can move as FEC files update. Live hubs control if they disagree.
Do not claim $33,258,232.19 funded federal awards. Do not add Super PAC independent expenditures to Form 3 candidate receipts. Amended reports can move either total. If live hubs disagree with this extract, the newer FEC file controls.
