Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff — Democrat Jon Ossoff in the Georgia's 6th Congressional District special election broke the all-time quarterly fundraising record in a House race for a candidate who didn't self-fund.

Quarterly fundraising reports for federal candidates, covering the period from Jan. 1 to March 31, were due at the Federal Elections Commission on April 15 at midnight. Because it's early in the cycle, our roundup below includes fundraising numbers from every major-party House candidate who actually filed a report (incumbents, challengers and open seat candidates alike). All numbers are in thousands. The chart, and an explanation of each column, can be found below.

"CD" stands for congressional district.

"Raised" is the amount the candidate has received in donations from donors during the quarter, not including any self-funding or loans.

"Self Fund" is the amount of direct contributions a candidate has made to his or her own campaign. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised" column.

"Self Loan" is the amount of any loans a candidate has made to his or her own campaign. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised" column.

"Raised CTD" indicates how much a candidate has raised for the election cycle-to-date as of the end of the quarter. This figure does not include self-funding or loans.

"Spent" is the amount of money the campaign has spent during the quarter.

"CoH" stands for total cash-on-hand the campaign has available at the end of the quarter.

You can access our spreadsheet directly here. If you click through, you'll see two additional columns on the right-hand side:

"Self Fund CTD" is the amount of direct contributions a candidate has made to his or her own campaign for the election cycle-to-date. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised CTD" column.

"Transfers" is the amount of monetary transfers from other political committees.

Ultimately, all money received from all sources (including transfers) is reflected in every candidate's cash-on-hand totals, less spending.
