48,186 published contribution, spending, allocation, and funding-source records. Open a dollar total to inspect the records behind it.
These files were reported in 2026; many transactions are older. Totals are separate source-row sums, not a cash-flow balance or complete election cycle.
Open a ledger
Keep each ledger separate. Monetary receipts, pledges, loans, in-kind support, expenses and their later payments are not interchangeable. Transfers can appear on both the giving and receiving side. These figures are source-row sums, not unique statewide cash flow or cash balances.
Other incoming support, pledges and loans (10 ledgers)
These are distinct source types, not one additional fundraising total. Pledges and their payments can describe the same support.
Other expenses, payments and obligations (17 ledgers)
Separate payments, noncash activity and obligations. Do not treat their combined sum as cash spent.
Explanatory detail that can overlap other ledgers (4 ledgers)
These records explain underlying activity. Mirrored in-kind, third-party and agent detail must not be counted again as new spending.
Which states appear in reported receipt rows?
Color intensity shows each state's share of positive Monetary contribution row sums. Select a state to inspect those records. This is reported contributor geography, not a donor's ultimate source of funds. No addresses or exact locations are used.
State boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau, 2025 Cartographic Boundary Files, States 20M. Official boundary source. Puerto Rico and source labels that do not match a mapped state remain in the exact contributor-state table below, but are not drawn on this 50-state and District of Columbia map.

Ten largest receipt row sums
Monetary contribution rows grouped by public organization ID. Other incoming source types are separate. This ranking does not identify who controls a candidate.
Bars share one scale within this chart. A larger bar means a larger sum of published rows, not proof of influence or control.

What is included
All 48,186 data rows in the two official Nebraska 2026 reporting-year exports, separated into 35 source-type ledgers. The 1,041 public filing accounts include candidate committees, PACs, parties, ballot committees, businesses and other supplemental filers.
The source lists October 1, 2026 at 2:26 a.m., with no timezone specified. Every row in these files has a 2026 filing date, but many transaction dates are from earlier years. This is a fixed source snapshot, not a complete 2026 transaction-year or election-cycle total. Official download links can later contain newer files; the published checksums identify the version analyzed here.
Published row dates range from 2010-02-27 through 2026-09-30. Dates are as filed. Two agent-detail rows have source dates after the snapshot; their amounts remain visible, but their dates are flagged and excluded from date filters. Filing dates are shown separately.
- Nine nonempty official public-search scopes matched the source-type sums exactly. Those samples include amended records and signed corrections; they do not establish reconciliation of every report.
- Every original export row is retained once using its archive, record ID and original data-row ordinal. Repeated expenditure IDs can represent separate target allocations or funding-source disclosures.
- The 2,397 received in-kind rows and their expense-side mirrors each sum to $1,542,259.80. They are shown separately, never added as new money.
- Five independent-spending funding-source rows have no published amount. Their totals remain unavailable, not $0.
- Signed corrections, source zero amounts and amendment markers remain intact. Source names are not merged across different organization IDs.
- This release is not every historical Nebraska filing, every registered account, all federal FEC records, or a complete election-cycle cash account.
- Source rows can aggregate activity. A row count is not a unique donor or payment count. The files do not provide a complete predecessor/version chain for every amended record.
- Official links open the source archive. The table shows its original data-row ordinal and record ID so a reader can reproduce the row; an individual filing-document link is not supplied for every export record.
- The independent-spending file expands some expenditure IDs across candidate or measure targets. It does not include every original unsplit payment amount, so the allocation sum is not presented as a verified unique-spending total.
- No cash balance or unique statewide spending total is calculated from these overlapping source types.
Names are shown as filed. Addresses, exact locations, contact details, employer, occupation and free-text descriptions are omitted. A shared name alone does not establish a shared identity.
Reported contributions establish financial relationships. Evidence of an agreement or control requires additional reporting.
