New Jersey candidate fundraising — 2026 cycle

Joining the 2026 cycle to New Jersey office state

$58,679,394 is the New Jersey office-state candidate-receipt cell on FEC.gov for the 2026 cycle. That figure is New Jersey candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state NJ during the 2026 cycle, as grouped on FEC.gov. The matching national book is $2,096,542,959 ($2.10 billion) across 2,430 candidates. New Jersey is 2.8% of those cycle dollars and 3.2% of the cycle candidate roster. This page exists because the two dimensions meet. It is not a restatement of the 2026 cycle hub alone and not a restatement of the New Jersey state hub across every cycle.

Office state on this page is the state of the federal office. A Senate or House candidate listed with office state NJ enters the New Jersey cell for 2026 even if some receipts were raised out of state. A donor who lives in New Jersey and gives to a different office state does not enter this cell by residence. The New Jersey hub at /states/NJ/ is the broader state view; this tie freezes one cycle.

New Jersey’s 78-candidate 2026 receipt stack

New Jersey’s 2026 cell holds $58,679,394 ($58.7 million) from 78 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $752,300 per listed candidate. That mean is a ratio of two FEC columns. It is not a median, not a typical itemized contribution, and not evidence that each campaign raised the same amount. The New Jersey hub at /states/NJ/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2026 only.

New Jersey versus the 2026 national total

New Jersey accounts for 2.8% of 2026 cycle dollars and 3.2% of 2026 cycle candidates. Those two percentages need not match. A state can hold a larger share of listed candidates than of receipts, or the reverse. Seventy-eight New Jersey office-state candidates sit behind the cell against 2,430 candidates in the 2026 cycle table, so roster share and dollar share are different ratios. Neither percentage is a ranking of winners. The remaining $2,037,863,565 stayed in other office states.

The 2026 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $2,096,542,959 in candidate receipts nationwide and 2,430 candidates. After removing New Jersey, $2,037,863,565 and 2,352 candidates remain in other office states. Those remainder figures are arithmetic (cycle minus state). They are not a second FEC file. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. The 2026 hub at /election-cycles/2026/ keeps the full book; /election-cycles/ lists every cycle; /ties/ lists other two-key joins.

What New Jersey 2026 receipts leave out

This join does not count independent expenditures, party coordinated expenditures, or unitemized receipts that never entered the candidate-receipt aggregate. It does not name donors. It does not say FEC receipts funded federal awards on USAspending.gov; those are different datasets even when the geography string matches. Office state NJ is the seat sought, not the mailing state of contributors. Correlation between a busy cycle and a large state cell is not causation and not an election-outcome claim. Quote $58,679,394 as New Jersey in 2026, and quote $2,096,542,959 as the 2026 national total — never as each other.

New Jersey hub, 2026 hub, and this overlap

Read /states/NJ/ for New Jersey campaign-finance totals that mix cycles. Read /election-cycles/2026/ for the 2026 cycle across every office state. Read /election-cycles/ for the cycle index and /ties/ for other FEC two-dimension pages. This URL, New Jersey × 2026, is only the overlap: 78 candidates and $58,679,394 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2026 New Jersey office-state candidate receipts $58,679,394 from 78 candidates, and 2026 national candidate receipts $2,096,542,959 from 2,430 candidates. The first line is the join cell. The second is the cycle book. FEC.gov is the source for both. Canonical path: /ties/2026-new-jersey-candidate-receipts/.

New Jersey’s 2026 cell is 78 candidates and $58,679,394. Residence of donors is not the grouping key. A later FEC bulk file can move New Jersey’s 2026 cell and the 2026 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $58,679,394 and $2,096,542,959 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Questions

How much have New Jersey federal candidates raised in 2026?

$58,679,394 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in New Jersey during the 2026 cycle. It is not the $2.10 billion national cycle total and not independent expenditures. Office state is the seat, not donor home address. Do not swap in the 2026 national total of $2.10 billion.

How many New Jersey candidates are in the 2026 table?

The 2026 cycle book on FEC.gov is $2,096,542,959 across 2,430 candidates nationwide. New Jersey is 78 of those candidates and $58,679,394 of those receipts (2.8% of cycle dollars). The table count is 78 office-state candidates.

Does this include New Jersey Super PAC IEs?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2026 and office state NJ. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. Independent expenditures are outside candidate-receipt totals.

Where is the New Jersey campaign-finance hub?

Use /election-cycles/2026/ for the 2026 national cycle hub and /states/NJ/ for New Jersey across cycles. All election cycles live at /election-cycles/. Sibling cycle-state joins live at /ties/. The 2026 cycle hub is the national book for that year.
