Comparable candidate finance and remaining source gaps
Verify exact candidate-to-account identities and comparable periods, resolve the five blocked reports, and independently check the withheld independent-spending identities. Refresh after the October 2 filing deadline and reconcile later supplemental activity before adding it. District and local ballot expansion remains separate work.
Dataset comparison: The state money explorer is a verified subset, not a full statewide total. Report cutoffs differ; ordinary, convention, petition and independent-spending ledgers must not be added together. Candidate comparison cards still require verified identity matches. Federal cards keep their separate FEC coverage through June 30, 2026. Missing amounts are not zero.
