Maine U.S. Senate — 2026 General Election: All Funding

7.1 — Race summary

† Troy Jackson's principal committee (TROY JACKSON FOR MAINE, C00955609) has no FEC financial report on file yet (checked October 8, 2026); its first figures arrive with the October quarterly report (activity through September 30, 2026), due October 15, 2026. Until then its campaign finances are unknown — not zero. Daggered totals cover only the campaign that has reported; the outside-money columns are unaffected (they come from the spenders' own filings).

Every cell to the dollar. Raised / Spent / Cash on hand are each campaign's cycle-to-date FEC totals (they include pre-nomination activity — note); the three outside-money columns count only independent expenditures disseminated after nomination day. "Grand total benefiting" = a candidate's own campaign disbursements + total outside spending benefiting that candidate. Receipts and expenditures are never added into a single figure. Attribution rule.

7.2 — Charts

Donuts are computed server-side from the same snapshot figures shown in each accompanying table; chart and table cannot disagree. Chart (a) counts only outside money for a campaign that has not yet reported (†).

7.3 — Outside spending by committee

Every filer found by the candidate-level Schedule E pull is listed, not only the verified super PACs. Committee names link to their FEC pages. Spending that opposes one candidate is counted as benefiting the other. Attribution rule. General-election rows only (disseminated after nomination day); spending disseminated on or before nomination day is listed in the appendix, §7.15.

7.4 — Outside spending by purpose category

Purpose categories are assigned from each expenditure's FEC description using a fixed keyword map. Unclassified share: 0.4%.

7.5 — Super PAC donors

One table per verified super PAC active in the general-election window (§7.3), largest spender first. Committees are added here once their spending appears in the two-way ledger.

7.6 — Campaign fundraising composition

Individual contributions combine itemized and small-dollar (unitemized) receipts as reported in each committee's FEC totals. Figures are cycle-to-date for each principal campaign committee (the FEC summary file does not separate pre-nomination from general-election receipts). Transfers from authorized committees are shown as their own labeled row and are not buried in totals.

7.7 — Campaign spending by category

Buckets are assigned from each disbursement's FEC purpose description using the same keyword map applied to outside spending. Cycle-to-date for each principal campaign committee.

7.8 — PACs giving directly to each campaign

Cash and in-kind contributions from PACs and other political committees to each campaign, cycle-to-date (FEC transaction types 24K and 24Z in the committee-to-candidate bulk file, memo entries excluded). The candidate's own authorized committees are left out — their transfers are the "transfers from authorized committees" line in §7.6. Independent expenditures (types 24A/24E) are never counted here; they appear only in the §7.3 ledger.

Also in this FEC file, shown elsewhere on this page

• $5,598,391 of independent expenditures (types 24E for, 24A against) — outside spending: rows disseminated after nomination day are in the §7.3 ledger and the totals above, pre-nomination rows are in the §7.15 appendix. $5,582 of it, from 7 committee(s) that report IEs only on their regular reports and never appear in the FEC independent-expenditure file, was added from this file so it is not lost ($790 in the general-election ledger and totals; $4,792 in the §7.15 appendix (pre-nomination period)).
• $557,913 of coordinated party expenditures (type 24C) — listed in the coordinated-party table below.

Coordinated party expenditures

Spending by a party committee made in coordination with the campaign (FEC transaction type 24C). It is neither a contribution to the campaign nor independent spending, so it is shown on its own line and is not included in any total above.
