This page is a final analysis of campaign contributions from individuals to major party congressional and state candidates in 10 states. Self-financed contributions are included. These states, most of which are battlegrounds, represent different regions and partisan dynamics. For an analysis of the demographics of the donors to congressional candidates, visit our Donor Gaps page. For an analysis of all major party congressional candidates running in all 50 states, visit our The National View: Congressional Elections page. Visit our Final Analysis report page for our summary analysis of all congressional and state races. Because this project analyzed those candidates who filed campaign finance reports, these statistics may not reflect the total number of candidates who ran.
