Sources, method and corrections
Snapshot built from the Nevada Secretary of State finance export generated September 24, 2026 (source ZIP SHA-256 bdd952c0f4777c4b6f8190c382503705d0d89dc743831741e2a840e7b5b1c1d2), selected report periods and separately checked original signed reports. New filings or amendments will change the picture.
What this guide covers
- Assembly comparison: 42 districts and 75 ballot names from dated county source material. 72 candidate comparisons have checked signed covers for both the first and second quarters; three lack a complete comparison.
- Governor: signed 2026 first- and second-quarter covers for all three governor candidates; earlier annual covers for Aaron Ford and Joe Lombardo; unresolved Lombardo export version flags identified.
- Congress: 14 county-listed House names in four districts; 9 FEC 2025 and 2026 candidate financial summaries checked separately from the state export; five are unknown here.
- State and local filers: 1,533 candidate profiles with selected state reports. Sheriff, treasurer, district attorney, city and county office labels can be filtered by export jurisdiction. Local ballot rosters and most signed covers are not checked.
- Groups: 1,662 historically registered groups; 474 with a selected 2025/26 report, including 416 ordinary PACs. This is a registration directory, not an ownership map.
- Dated records: 95,364 itemized candidate/group receipt and expense rows across separate receipt, commitment and expense ledgers. Report versions marked superseded and legal-defense reports are excluded from candidate campaign entries.
What cannot be concluded
- A signed-cover total is not cash only. It may include in-kind value, loan-related entries, written commitments and aggregated small donations.
- Candidate receipt and group payment may record a single transfer. A donor to a PAC did not necessarily direct its later payment.
- Names and contact IDs do not reliably identify a unique person or beneficial owner; an administrative contact is not an owner.
- Unfiled or paper-only records, later corrections and federal campaign filings can be missing here. No donation alone proves an official decision, wrongdoing or corruption.
Original documents and statutes

Selected first-half 2026 money is dated by transaction and report. “2025 annual” covers 2025 transactions, although filed in January 2026. Missing itemized rows do not mean zero financing.
