North Carolina candidate fundraising — 2026 cycle

North Carolina office state × the 2026 FEC cycle

North Carolina office-state candidates show $71,861,479 in FEC.gov receipts in the 2026 cycle table. That figure is North Carolina candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state NC 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. North Carolina is 3.4% 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 North Carolina state hub across every cycle.

A larger candidate count does not by itself explain dollars. FEC.gov gives both columns; it does not explain why either column sits where it sits. Seventy-seven North Carolina office-state candidates populate the cell against 2,430 candidates in the 2026 cycle table, so the state holds a larger share of listed campaigns than of cycle dollars. Candidate receipts here are committee-side totals for the office-state filter. They are not independent expenditures, not a Schedule A donor directory, and not USAspending award dollars. The cycle hub lives at /election-cycles/2026/; the North Carolina hub lives at /states/NC/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

Seventy-seven North Carolina candidates in 2026

North Carolina’s 2026 cell holds $71,861,479 ($71.9 million) from 77 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $933,266 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 North Carolina hub at /states/NC/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2026 only.

North Carolina’s slice of 2026 national receipts

The 2026 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $2,096,542,959 in candidate receipts nationwide and 2,430 candidates. After removing North Carolina, $2,024,681,479 and 2,353 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.

North Carolina 2026 receipts are not awards or IEs

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 NC 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 $71,861,479 as North Carolina in 2026, and quote $2,096,542,959 as the 2026 national total — never as each other.

Opening North Carolina and 2026 as separate hubs

Read /states/NC/ for North Carolina 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, North Carolina × 2026, is only the overlap: 77 candidates and $71,861,479 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2026 North Carolina office-state candidate receipts $71,861,479 from 77 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-north-carolina-candidate-receipts/.

North Carolina’s 2026 cell is 77 candidates and $71,861,479. The cycle book remains $2,096,542,959 across 2,430 candidates. A later FEC bulk file can move North Carolina’s 2026 cell and the 2026 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $71,861,479 and $2,096,542,959 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Office state NC is a federal-seat code on candidate filings, not a contributor ZIP roll-up and not a state-office ethics filing. 77 candidates produced $71,861,479 inside 2026. Other office states hold the remaining $2,024,681,479 of the $2.10 billion cycle book. All FEC ties at /ties/ lists sibling cycle-state pages so this overlap is not mistaken for the full North Carolina hub.
