New York Democrat Tedra Cobb — Tedra Cobb, running in New York's 21st Congressional District, was one of the strongest Democratic fundraisers last quarter

Quarterly fundraising reports for federal candidates, covering the period from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, were due at the Federal Elections Commission on Jan. 31 at midnight Eastern Time. 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 that feature contested primaries
Under-the-radar contests where a candidate raised or self-funded an unexpectedly high sum
Races where incumbents potentially face a credible primary challenge
Districts where incumbents might retire

As always, all numbers are in thousands. The chart, and an explanation of each column, can be found below. You can also view this chart in spreadsheet form. In addition, you can click here for our chart listing fundraising data for every House incumbent seeking re-election.

Below you’ll find an explanation of each column:

Under "Party," a designation including "-inc" refers to an incumbent.

"4Q Raised" is the amount the candidate received in donations from donors during the reporting period. This includes transfers from other committees but does not include any self-funding or loans.

"Self-Fund" is the amount of contributions and/or loans a candidate made to their own campaign, using their personal resources, during the reporting period. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised" column.

"Spent" is the amount of money the campaign spent during the reporting period.

"Cash" is the total cash on hand the campaign had available at the end of the reporting period.

"Raised CTD" is the amount the candidate had received in donations from donors cycle-to-date as of the end of the reporting period. This includes transfers from other committees but does not include any self-funding or loans.

"Self-Fund CTD" is the amount of contributions and/or loans a candidate had made to their own campaign, using their personal resources, cycle-to-date as of the end of the reporting period. This number, if any, is not counted in the "Raised CTD" column.

If you click through to view the above chart in spreadsheet form, you'll see three additional columns on the right-hand side:

"Spent CTD" is the amount of money the campaign had spent cycle-to-date as of the end of the reporting period

"Transfer" is the amount of monetary transfers from other political committees during the reporting period. This number, if any, is counted in the "Raised" column.

"Transfer CTD" is the amount of monetary transfers from other political committees during the reporting period. This number, if any, is counted in the "Raised CTD" column.
