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.
