About these numbers

  • Georgia candidates can run a leadership committee that takes unlimited contributions and works with the campaign, so that’s where national groups give. Other groups file their own reports, but Georgia doesn’t break their spending out by candidate, so it isn’t listed here yet.
  • Raised and spent cover the whole campaign through July 31.
  • Next report: October report, covering through Oct. 20, 2026, due Oct. 20, 2026. We’ll update this page once it’s filed.
  • Governor campaigns file with the state, not the FEC, so these numbers come from the Georgia State Ethics Commission and are read by hand after each state deadline, so a new filing can take a few days to show up here. National groups like the Republican and Democratic Governors Associations report to the IRS; their transfers are listed when they appear in state or IRS filings.
