Campaign finance

Federal Election Commission filings for the 2022 two-year cycle. Candidates appear in the order they are listed on this page. They are not ranked by money, and these measures are never combined into a single score.

Every candidate below reports through Dec 31, 2022, except where a row says otherwise.

Reported campaign finance for each candidate with complete FEC data in the 2022 cycle
Candidate	Total receipts	Cash on hand	Direct PAC receipts	Outside spending supporting	Outside spending opposing
Eric Schmitt Republican	$6,566,086	$132,138	$672,143	$9,182,898	$1,882,621

Bars are not shown. Reported coverage ends 73 days apart (Oct 19, 2022 to Dec 31, 2022), so bars on one scale would compare different amounts of filed time rather than different amounts of money. Every reported amount is in the table above.

Where each campaign's committee money came from

Each column is one candidate and each figure is that candidate's own money, taken over that candidate's own itemized total. Nothing here is added across candidates, and the two groupings below are never added to each other: the first is who the FEC says runs the giving committee, which covers every dollar, and the second is what interest a source says that committee advances, which is a claim MyRepTracker makes and covers only part of the money.

These candidates are compared in the table above but have no stored breakdown of where their committee money came from, so they are named here rather than shown as a column of zeroes.

Paul Venable: no breakdown is stored for this record yet

Last-minute contributions reported before an election

Within 48 hours of receiving a contribution or loan of $1,000 or more in the days just before an election, a campaign must notify the FEC. These notices are provisional: the same money appears again in the regular report covering those days, so it is not added to the amounts above and is not compared as a measure. Candidates file them only while their own election is close, so an absence here says nothing about a campaign's fundraising.

48-hour notices reported by candidates in this race
Candidate	Reported on notices	Notices	Covers	State
Eric Schmitt Republican	$340,188	17	Jul 18 to Nov 4, 2022	Covered by regular reports
Trudy Valentine Democratic	$8,436,630	17	Jul 14 to Nov 4, 2022	$10,300 still provisional

Candidates not compared

These candidates are left out of the comparison rather than shown as zero, because a missing or partial record is not the same as no money.

Jonathan Dine (Libertarian): No FEC data is stored for cycle 2022.

Direct contributions are money the campaign received. Independent expenditures are spending by other organizations that is not coordinated with any campaign, and are never added to a candidate's receipts. Source: Federal Election Commission ↗.
