Where each campaign's money came from
All receipts to the candidates' own committees, by source, from their filed reports through Oct 14.
Itemized individual contributions by month
Gifts from donors who gave more than $200 in total, by the date the campaign received them. Graham entered the race in July 2026. October runs through the 14th only.

Small donors vs. large donors
Individual money grouped by how much each donor gave in total this cycle. Unitemized gifts are donors under $200, whom campaigns report only as a lump sum.
Individuals giving through PACs
Most individual gifts now arrive "earmarked" through a conduit committee, such as ActBlue, WinRed, EMILYs List or the Republican Jewish Coalition PAC. The money is the individual's. The conduit only passes it on. The bars below cover itemized gifts, as the campaigns report them.
PAC contributions, and who funds those PACs
Direct contributions from political action committees to each campaign. Select a row to see the largest individual donors to that PAC this cycle, from its own FEC filings.
Outside spending
Independent expenditures: money super PACs and other groups spent on ads, mail and canvassing for or against a candidate, without coordinating with the campaign. Taken from the groups' 24- and 48-hour reports through , split by the election each group named. Select a group to see its largest individual donors.

Joint fundraising committees
Joint fundraising committees collect larger checks and split them among a campaign and other committees. The campaign's share arrives as a transfer, and its reports list the individuals behind it.
Where the donors live
Itemized individual contributions by the donor's state.
Every gift the conduit passed to the campaign, including gifts under $200 that never appear in the campaign's own itemized list. Donors are counted by name and ZIP code within each state, so the counts are approximate. Donors per 100K residents uses the Census Bureau's July 1, 2025 population estimates. Sort by it to see where support is strongest for a state's size.
Donors' employers and occupations
Top 15 by itemized dollars, as donors reported them. Retired and self-employed donors are counted as reported.
Largest individual donors to each campaign
Top 40 per campaign, total itemized giving this cycle. The legal limit is $3,500 per election, and the primary, the runoff and the general each count as one.
Sources and method
Filings
Committees: Darline for Senate (C00957308, candidate S6SC04437), Dr. Annie Andrews for Senate (C00906024, candidate S6SC04239) and Kasie Whitener for US Senate (C00907709, candidate S6SC04247).
Whitener's Q3 and pre-general reports leave Form 3's cycle-to-date column blank except for her loan. Her totals come from the FEC's candidate summary, and her split between gifts over and under $200 is rebuilt from her line items.
Headline totals come from the FEC candidate summary file and the cycle-to-date columns of each campaign's pre-general report (Form 3, period Oct 1–14, 2026).
Line items come from the FEC bulk files (indiv26, oth26, pas226, cm26, weball26; FEC update of Oct 25, 2026). Reports the FEC has not processed yet come from the campaigns' raw electronic filings: . Line items are matched on the FEC transaction ID so no gift is counted twice.
Itemized individual totals rebuilt this way are within 0.2% of what each campaign filed. The small gap comes from refunds and redesignations.
Outside spending comes from the FEC's daily independent-expenditure file, which is built from the groups' raw 24- and 48-hour reports. Amended reports replace the originals.
The ActBlue figures come from ActBlue's own reports for March 1–Oct 14, 2026: amended monthlies for March–August (filed Oct 19), the September monthly and the pre-general report. The WinRed figures come from WinRed's Q3 and pre-general reports (July 1–Oct 14). These reports list every earmarked gift. Donors are counted by name and ZIP code, so donor counts are approximate. ActBlue's January–February 2026 reports and its 2025 reports are not included.
Neither conduit fills in the election field on its gifts, so per-election contribution limits can't be checked from the conduits' side alone.
Checked against public reporting
Andrews' reports add up to $10.80M raised through June 30, matching the $10.8M reported for that point (legis1).
Graham's Q3 report opens with $251,431 in cash, matching the $251,000 NOTUS reported in August.
Senate Leadership Fund (shown as SLF PAC) announced $5M for the race on Oct. 6. Its reports to the FEC now total more than that, almost all of it against Andrews.
In September the FEC told Graham's campaign that about $24,000 in contributions exceeded the limits (NOTUS). The campaign's reports through Oct. 14 show no refunds of individual contributions yet.
What is not here
48-hour notices of large gifts after Oct 14, and any report filed after Oct 25.
Coordinated spending by the party committees (NRSC and DSCC), which is reported separately from independent expenditures.
Andrews' earlier reports, from before July 2026, list earmarked gifts in the bulk data without the conduit's name. In her raw filings from July on, 99.9% of earmarked gifts came through ActBlue.
PAC donor lists come from the FEC bulk data, so they run a few weeks behind the PACs' own reports.
Federal law prohibits using contributor names and addresses from FEC reports to solicit contributions or for any commercial purpose (52 U.S.C. § 30111(a)(4)). Names appear here only to show who is funding the race.
