- $179M 1,555 candidate committees (count)
- Party committees
- $65M Raised; shown apart, since much of it goes to candidates
- PACs

Money given by one committee to another is counted at both, so these lines are not added together. Some political spending is legally undisclosed and isn’t counted here.

Every candidate and committee ELEC lists for the 2025 and 2026 election years, with each filing entity added together by name, office and place (a primary and a general are separate entities). State Senate and Assembly candidates and legislative joint candidate committees show the receipts and disbursements on their R-1 reports (the latest amendment of each period). Everyone else shows the contributions and expenditures itemized in ELEC’s data. New Jersey elected its Assembly and governor in 2025; its Senate is next elected in 2027. Cash on hand is not in the search.
