Every dollar raised and spent in Nebraska's 2026 elections, from every committee that files: candidates for every office, parties, PACs and ballot-question campaigns with the NADC, and the federal candidates and outside groups with the FEC. Each dollar is counted once, where it was first raised.
Updated Oct 28, 2026. State filings received through Oct 28; federal reports through each candidate's last filing. Rebuilt every morning through the post-general reports in January.

How this is counted
State: every committee filing the NADC's 2026 statewide-election reports, counting its activity from January 1, 2025, the same two-year cycle the FEC uses. Omaha's and Lincoln's own city elections are not included.
Money one Nebraska committee gives another is counted where it was raised, not again when it arrives. A business's report of a gift repeats the committee's receipt and is counted once.
An in-kind gift counts once, as the receiving campaign's spending. Payments an agency itemizes on a committee's behalf are already in the committee's own expenses and are not added again. Pledges, forgiven loans and loan repayments move no new money and are left out.
Federal: the FEC's 2026-cycle totals for every Nebraska candidate and the state parties' federal accounts, less money the parties moved from their state accounts or gave to candidates. Outside spending counts each independent expenditure once, though groups report it twice.
Totals change as committees amend reports. Gifts made after a committee's last report appear when the next report is filed.
