What this South Carolina guide covers
Selected report summaries are now available
The observed 2026-election metadata contained 2,737 selected report names containing 2026 across 1,060 exact filer/campaign ID pairs. The 2,267 included reports cover 947 accounts and pass explicit-family, non-overlapping-period and exact financial controls. The 470 excluded reports remain listed in the status download; 113 accounts have no included amounts. This is a selected candidate-report snapshot, not all South Carolina political money.
Selected report-category sums, not individual transactions, complete-cycle totals or current cash. 2,267 reports passed the period, amendment and financial checks; 470 collected reports are excluded. Loans, personal contributions, noncash values and returns remain separate.
This release covers every candidate contest decided by all South Carolina voters in the November 3, 2026 general election.

Michael Addison and Candace BrewerThe official portal profile for Michael Addison did not show an exact 2026 Governor campaign disclosure office or Quarter 2 Governor report as of October 1, 2026. An older, different-office record is not substituted. Missing here does not mean $0.
Alan Wilson and Mike ReichenbachThe official finance portal lists Michael A. Wilson on a 2026 Attorney General campaign record, not a Governor record. No exact 2026 Governor campaign disclosure record for Alan Wilson was found as of October 1, 2026, so the different-office figures are not substituted. Missing here does not mean $0.
Baba Amin OjuokNo exact Baba Amin Ojuok candidate or 2026 State Superintendent of Education campaign disclosure record appeared in the official public portal search as of October 1, 2026. Missing here does not mean $0.
Cody SimpsonThe official 2026 campaign-report search returned no Commissioner of Agriculture record for Cody Simpson as of October 1, 2026. Other Simpson records were for different candidates and offices and were not substituted. Missing here does not mean $0.
Michael SullensThe official profile for Michael Sullens showed a 2026 statement of economic interests but no campaign disclosure report row as of October 1, 2026. Missing here does not mean $0.
Mark HackettNo exact official 2026 South Carolina U.S. Senate candidate financial summary for Mark Hackett was found on the FEC candidate or election pages as of October 1, 2026. An older House candidate page is not a 2026 Senate financial summary and is not substituted. Missing here does not mean $0.
District contests, local ballot styles, and itemized finance
Congressional, legislative, solicitor, county, municipal, school, special-district, watershed and other local ballot expansion remain outside the featured ballot guide. The separate candidate-report explorer includes source-listed state and local offices, but not individual donor/payee transactions or complete state and federal finance analysis.
Dataset comparison: South Carolina state cards use the exact Contributions, Expenses, and Balance fields displayed on each selected Quarter 2, 2026 report index. These are not labeled as period-only figures, and each candidate's filing period may differ. Quarter 3 was due after the October 1 source check. U.S. Senate cards use separate FEC candidate aggregates with each page's stated coverage. Missing records are not converted to zeros.
