Every number below comes out of an official’s own filing with the
Federal Election Commission. We added them up by state. We did not score anyone,
rank anyone, or decide what any of it means.

Question this number before you use it
Four things are wrong with it, and you should know all four before
you quote it to anybody.
It is missing … of the 532 people
in Congress. An official with no 2026 filing on record is not counted and
not guessed at. A senator elected in 2024 is not raising money for a 2026 race,
so they contribute nothing to their state’s total while still holding
the seat and casting the votes.
Coverage is wildly uneven, so states are not fairly comparable.… Two states with the same real total can
look completely different here purely because of who filed.
The raw total mostly measures how many seats a state has. California
has 53 people in this file; Wyoming has 3. California will “win” every
time, and that tells you about the census, not about influence. That is why
this page defaults to PAC share — PAC dollars as a fraction of
every dollar those same officials raised. Both halves come from the same
filings, so a 53-member state and a 3-member state are finally comparable.
The other two views are one click away so you can watch the distortion appear
for yourself. Share is still limited by the coverage problem above:
it is a share of the people who filed, not of the whole delegation.
PAC money is legal, disclosed, and normal. It is not a crime, a
scandal, or a verdict. A large number here is a fact about fundraising, not a
finding about a person. We publish the record. We do not publish the
adjective.
You are looking at raw totals. This view mostly ranks states by how many
seats they have. It is here so you can see that distortion yourself — not
because it is the better number.
