Who raised what, from the state’s own filings.

How to read this

Every figure is read from the Financial Summary on the candidate's or committee's own page in TRACER, the Colorado Secretary of State's campaign finance system: TRACER's running total of all reports filed for the committee's election cycle, current as of its latest regular report. They are whole-cycle figures, not one reporting period. For candidates the cycle is the four-year state candidate cycle TRACER shows (for 2026 races, Dec. 9, 2022 to Dec. 3, 2026), so a candidate committee that carried money over from an earlier race shows it in its beginning balance; for issue committees it is calendar year 2026. 'Raised' is TRACER's Total Contributions: monetary contributions (itemized and non-itemized) plus miscellaneous receipts, less returned contributions. In-kind (non-monetary) contributions are shown separately as 'in_kind', and loans received as 'loans'; neither is in 'raised'. 'Spent' is TRACER's Total Expenditures, monetary expenditures less returned expenditures; loan repayments and in-kind expenditures are not in it. 'Cash on hand' is TRACER's Ending Balance. For statewide candidates and measure committees, the summary page of the latest report itself (FilingDetail) is also saved and kept under 'latest_report' as one-period figures, never added to the cycle totals. As a check, raised and spent were recomputed from TRACER's saved bulk data files for every account whose cycle activity falls inside the 2025 and 2026 files (see crosscheck_summary). Candidates are every candidate on the Secretary of State's 2026 General Election Official Candidate List for governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, attorney general, State Board of Education, University of Colorado Board of Regents, state senate and state house, names as listed there, matched to TRACER's 2026 candidate records. Measure committees are the issue committees the Secretary of State's 2026 ballot-measures page lists for or against each of the 14 statewide measures, plus statewide issue committees registered in 2025-2026 whose TRACER registered purpose names one of those measures.

Raised, spent and cash on hand are different measures from the same reports and are never added together. Loans are shown on their own and are not counted as money raised. Periods differ between accounts when committees file on different schedules.

What is not here yet

• Reports for Oct. 15-28, 2026 are due Nov. 2, after this pull; money raised and spent in the last weeks before the election is not in these figures, except as noted in each account's period end.
• Figures are TRACER's Financial Summary totals, which the system computes from the filed reports; we did not open every individual report. Where TRACER notes that a committee's balances were manually adjusted, the ending balance need not equal the beginning balance plus the other lines (flag 'balance_manually_adjusted').
• Bulk-file recomputation was run only for accounts whose cycle activity falls in 2025-2026 (committees registered in 2025 or later, and calendar-2026 issue committees); candidate committees with 2023-2024 activity were not recomputed because the 2023 and 2024 bulk files were not pulled.
• Loans: 'loans' is TRACER's Total Loans Received for the cycle; outstanding loan balances were not computed, and loans were not recomputed from the bulk loan files, whose rows repeat each outstanding loan on every report.
• Measure committees are taken from the Secretary of State's ballot-measures page, which says its committee list is not final, and from TRACER registered purposes of statewide issue committees registered in 2025-2026; a committee that works on a measure without being listed there or naming it in its purpose is not included. Political and independent expenditure committees that spend on measures are not included.
• Lieutenant governor candidates run jointly with governor candidates; where a lieutenant governor candidate has no separate committee, TRACER shows no Financial Summary and no figures are given (not zero).
• Two statewide issue committees registered in 2026 with general redistricting purposes (COLORADO DRAWS THE LINE and FAIR MAPS COLOADO ISSUE COMMITTEE, names as registered) do not name Amendment 86 or any other 2026 measure in their registered purpose and are not listed by the Secretary of State for any measure, so they are not included; whether they are working on Amendment 86 is not yet checked.
• 'No on 87, Yes on 136', listed by the Secretary of State as registered against Amendment 87 and for Proposition 136, was not found in TRACER's committee search under that name (searches for '136', '87' and 'No on' on Oct. 31, 2026); it has no account here.
• Candidates with no candidate committee in TRACER who report only their own campaign expenditures (no raised, cash or loan totals exist; their personal expenditures are kept in 'candidate_expenditures'): Wayne Harlos (lieutenant governor); Jeff Peckman (governor); Taralyn Romero (lieutenant governor); Amanda Campbell (secretary of state); Ross Klopf (state board of education 7); Veanessa Burbage (university of colorado regent 6); Joe Johnson (university of colorado regent 6); BetteRose Ryan (university of colorado regent 7); Janet Turner (state senator 11); Michele Poague (state senator 27); Jennifer Qualteri (state senator 34); Richard Graf (state senator 35); Ellwood Ervin (state representative 4); Jeff Wilson (state representative 7); Jesse Lashawn Parris (state representative 8); Tom Cowhick (state representative 9); Ryan Rhatigan (state representative 12); John C Hjersman (state representative 16); Andrew Gibson (state representative 36); Norm Olsen (state representative 38); John H Sutton (state representative 44); Caryn Ann Harlos (state representative 45); Eric E. Joss (state representative 48); Amy L. Lunde (state representative 56); Kevin Gulbranson (state representative 61).
• Candidates whose TRACER page shows no Financial Summary (no committee or no report in the cycle; no figures shown, not zero): George Washington Markert (lieutenant governor); Lesley Dahlkemper (lieutenant governor); James K Treibert (lieutenant governor); T.J. Cole (lieutenant governor); Frank Atwood (lieutenant governor); Jodie Barr (state treasurer); Marilee Langner Sturgis (state treasurer); Clayton Casciato (state board of education 1); Richard Friend (university of colorado regent 2); Jacob Luria (state senator 34); Kathleen Angel (state representative 6); Carolyn Barnes (state representative 8); John Michael Angle (state representative 17).
• Ballot candidates whose latest summarized TRACER report ends before Oct. 14, 2026 (figures are through the date shown): Joseph Montoya (state representative 1, through 2026-06-10); Bill Hare (state representative 4, through 2026-09-02).
• Committees on the Secretary of State's ballot-measures page that we could not find in TRACER: No on 87, Yes on 136.
• 8 long-registered statewide issue committees (IDs from 1999-2008) could not be opened in TRACER by their committee ID, so their registered purposes were not read; none is named on the Secretary of State's 2026 ballot-measures page: CITIZEN ACTION FOR COLORADO NONPROFITS (CACN) (19991200017); COLORADO TERM LIMITS COALITION (19991200035); CITIZENS FOR ARTS TO ZOO (19991200038); COLORADO COALITION FOR FAIR COMPETITION (CCFC) (19991200235); CITIZENS FOR COLORADO'S WATER INC (19991400348); HOSPITALITY ISSUE PAC (HIPAC) (20045646497); CITIZENS TO PROTECT COLORADO COURTS (20065633144); COLORADO BUSINESSES FOR SENSIBLE SOLUTIONS (20085633639).
• Bulk-file cross-check differs from TRACER's Financial Summary for 15 account(s) (listed under crosscheck_summary.differs); TRACER's figure is used.
• For 10 account(s), TRACER's printed Ending Balance does not equal its Beginning Balance plus Total Contributions and Loans Received less Total Expenditures and Loans Repaid, and the page carries no note that balances were adjusted; every figure is shown as TRACER prints it and the difference was not traced to a report: GUTIERREZ, AARON (state senator 3); MILLER, PATRICIA (state senator 17); BACON, JENNIFER (state representative 7); VANBUSKIRK, MONICA (state representative 9); CUVA, ADRIANA (state representative 18); CARTER, MICHAEL (state representative 36); FRICK, DANIEL (state representative 53); STEWART, KATIE (state representative 59); SHAMBLIN, SCOTT (state representative 61); NO ON 134 AND 135 (committee on Propositions 134 and 135).
