Minnesota U.S. Senate — 2026 Democratic Primary: All Funding

7.1 — Race summary

Every cell to the dollar. "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.

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. Primary-period rows only; spending disseminated after primary 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: 0.1%.

7.5 — Super PAC donors

† This donor also appears on VoteLog's point-in-time top-50 lists of AIPAC-network donors (United Democracy Project donors and/or AIPAC PAC bundlers, compiled August 2026 from FEC filings). Overlap of individual donors is not evidence that the committee itself is AIPAC-affiliated.

7.6 — Campaign fundraising composition

Individual contributions combine itemized and small-dollar (unitemized) receipts as reported in each committee's FEC totals. Angie Craig's transfers from authorized committees combine her House campaign committee and her joint fundraising committees; the FEC summary total does not separate them, so they are shown as one labeled row.

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.

7.8 — PACs giving directly to each campaign

Cash and in-kind contributions from PACs and other political committees to each campaign (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

• $17,791,629 of independent expenditures (types 24E for, 24A against) — outside spending: primary-period rows are in the §7.3 ledger and the totals above, rows after primary day are in the §7.15 appendix. $22,550 of it, from 12 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 ($22,235 in the primary ledger and totals; $315 with no usable date, counted in the scope note only, not attributed).
• $27,422 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.

7.9 — Earmarked contributions via conduits

Total earmarked to Angie Craig through AIPAC PAC (overlay stat, not additive with §7.6 receipts): $0

No itemized earmark records available in this snapshot.

This is an overlay statistic showing the conduit path of money already counted in §7.6 receipts; it is not added to any other total. AIPAC PAC contributions earmarked to a candidate pass through the traditional PAC as a conduit. ActBlue is a payment processor, mechanically different from an ideological bundler; no ActBlue conduit activity was observed in the current filings.

7.10 — Final-stretch tracker

(a) 24-hour independent-expenditure reports since July 23 (newest first)

(b) 48-hour contribution notices (Form 6), per campaign

Figures reported via 24/48-hour notices; not yet in a periodic report. This is the live feed through primary day (August 11, 2026).

7.15 — Appendix: general-election spending after primary day

1 filers, $212,000 disseminated after primary day — listed in full, not additive with the primary totals above.

Independent expenditures disseminated after the August 11, 2026 primary, from filings processed through September 24, 2026 (2 filing rows; every row is in the JSON download under postPrimary). This is general-election money: it is listed in full here but is not added to the primary totals above and is not credited to either primary candidate, because "opposing one candidate benefits the other" only holds while both are on the same ballot. Scope note.
