The first quarterly fundraising reports for federal candidates running in the 2019-2020 election cycle, covering the period from Jan. 1 to March 31, were due at the Federal Elections Commission on April 15 at midnight ET. Because it's early in the cycle, our roundup includes fundraising numbers from every incumbent member of the House (except those who are retiring), as well as all notable challengers. All numbers are in thousands.
Our chart, and an explanation of each column, can be found below. For our companion chart for the Senate, click here.
Below you’ll find an explanation of each column:
- Under "Party," a designation including "-inc" refers to an incumbent.
- "1Q Raised" is the amount the candidate has received in donations from donors during the reporting period, including transfers from other committees but not including any self-funding or loans.
- "Self-Fund" is the amount of direct contributions and/or loans a candidate has made to their own campaign during the reporting period. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised" column.
- "Spent" is the amount of money the campaign has spent during the reporting period.
- "CoH" stands for total cash-on-hand the campaign has available at the end of the reporting period.
- "Raised CTD" is the amount the candidate has received in donations from donors cycle-to-date as of the end of the reporting period, including transfers from other committees but not including any self-funding or loans.
- "Self-Fund CTD" is the amount of direct contributions and/or loans a candidate has made to their own campaign cycle-to-date as of the end of the reporting period. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised" column.
You can access the chart above in spreadsheet form here. If you click through, you'll see an additional column on the right-hand side labeled "Transfer." This is the amount of monetary transfers from other political committees during the reporting period. This number, if any, is counted in the "Raised" column.
Ultimately, all money received from all sources is reflected in every candidate's cash-on-hand totals, less spending.
