Campaign Finance Lookup
Search a federal candidate and see raised, spent, and cash on hand from FEC filings.
Source: Federal Election Commission. Totals are as filed for the most recent cycle on record, not a live bank balance.
Type a federal candidate's name and this tool returns the most recent cycle totals the FEC has on file: receipts, disbursements, and cash on hand. The figures come from official filings through OpenFEC, and every result links to the candidate's page on FEC.gov.
These are reports, not a live bank balance. A campaign can raise or spend money after the coverage date on the filing, and independent expenditures by Super PACs do not appear in a candidate's own totals.
What the three numbers mean
Raised (receipts) is money the campaign reported taking in. Spent (disbursements) is money it reported paying out. Cash on hand is the balance at the end of the reporting period. A campaign can show high receipts and low cash if it has already spent the money — common late in a cycle.
Federal races only
The FEC covers President, Senate, and House. State offices, ballot measures, and most local races file with a state agency instead. A name search can also return more than one person — the same last name in different cycles or chambers — so check the office and state on the card.
What this does not include
Super PAC spending, party coordinated expenditures, and 501(c) issue ads are reported on other FEC schedules. They can dwarf a candidate's own committee. Use the FEC.gov link on each result when you need the full picture.

Campaign Finance Lookup — Frequently Asked Questions
- Where do these campaign finance numbers come from?
- The Federal Election Commission, via the OpenFEC API. Alto does not estimate or adjust the filings. Each result links to the candidate's official FEC page so you can read the underlying reports.
- Why is cash on hand lower than the amount raised?
- Because the campaign has already spent some of it. Cash on hand is the balance at the end of the reporting period, not a running total of everything ever raised.
- Does this include Super PAC money?
- No. These totals are for the candidate's own authorized committee. Independent expenditures are reported separately and can be larger than the campaign's own spending.
- Can I look up a state race?
- Not here. The FEC does not collect state-level campaign finance. Those filings live with the state's election office.
