Minnesota Democrat Dean Phillips — Businessman Dean Phillips, running in Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District, raised the most of any non-incumbent Democratic House candidate in the second quarter of 2017.

Quarterly fundraising reports for federal candidates, covering the period from April 1 to June 30, were due at the Federal Elections Commission on July 15 at midnight. Below is our chart of fundraising numbers for House candidates in all key races this cycle. (Click here for our companion chart for the Senate.) That includes, among others:

Races we expect to be competitive in this year's general elections
Open seats in otherwise safe districts with contested primaries
Under-the-radar contests where a candidate raised an unexpectedly high sum
Incumbents who might face a credible primary challenge

As always, 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. You can find our roundup for the first quarter here.
