Sources and scope

Peachfile candidate export downloaded {{ fundingDate(topFundraisers.as_of) }}. These are reported account totals, not cash on hand or a ranking restricted to November nominees. Accounts remain separate; federal campaigns are not included because FEC reporting differs.

Self-funding amounts are shown separately where identified in available donation records. Those records can cover a different period from the headline account total; absence of an amount does not mean no self-funding. We do not subtract these amounts to estimate outside-donor fundraising.

Some Campaigns Rely on Individuals, Others on Institutions

Some campaigns receive mostly individual contributions, while others are sustained mostly by PACs, committees, and institutional money. Candidate self-funding is excluded from both rankings.

Ranking sources and rules

Donation records downloaded {{ fundingDate(fundingRankingsAsOf) }}. {{ fundingRankingsCount }} campaign accounts qualify from all candidate accounts with usable reports. Each account needs at least $250,000 and 100 recorded contributions after excluding identified self-funding. Rankings use all available donation dates for each account, not just the 2026 election cycle. Accounts remain separate, even when the candidate or committee name is similar.

{{ fundingPendingReviewCount }} additional accounts meet the size thresholds but are withheld while donations matching the candidate's own name await self-funding verification. A name match alone is not treated as a verified classification.

Percentages use all recorded nonself donations before refunds, including unclassified sources in the denominator. Institutional funding means organizations and non-candidate committees. Other-candidate donations and unclassified types remain separate; they are not automatically institutional funding. Individual-funded does not necessarily mean small-dollar funded. Loans, repayments and interest are excluded. The download date is not every campaign's last filing date.

What This Tells Us

Grassroots vs. Big Money

Democrats receive more contributions with a lower average amount, while Republicans receive fewer but larger contributions. Repeat donations do not represent additional unique donors.

Different Strategies

These patterns suggest fundamentally different fundraising approaches and donor bases between the parties.

Impact on Politics

Understanding these differences helps explain how campaigns are funded and who has influence in Georgia politics.
