Quarterly fundraising reports for federal candidates, covering the period from April 1 through June 30, were due at the Federal Elections Commission on Monday night. We've narrowed down our list to competitive races (both primary and general), as well as potential open seats (due to either retirements or bids for other offices):
As always, all numbers are in thousands. An explanation of each column:
• "CD" stands for congressional district.
• "Raised" is the amount the candidate has received in donations from donors during the quarter, not including any loans.
• "Self Fund" is the amount of direct contributions a candidate has made to his or her own campaign. This number, if any, is also 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.
• "Spent" is the amount of money the campaign has spent during the quarter.
• "CoH" stands for total cash-on-hand at the end of the quarter.
• "CTD" indicates a candidate's contributions raised cycle-to-date, as of the end of the quarter.

The former shows any exceptions to the April 1 through June 30 reporting period (some candidates have filed reports covering shorter or longer timeframes, for various reasons). The latter shows transfers from other committees.
