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

• Jennifer Decker: KREF's running total for this account differs from the sum of its filed reports; the figures here follow the filed reports' lines.

How to read this

Kentucky has no governor or other statewide executive race in 2026; those are in 2027. Kentucky gives a candidate a separate filer number and account for the primary and for the general, so the main figures here are each candidate's general-election account for Nov. 3, 2026 only. The May 19 primary account is kept apart in our data file and is not added in. Candidates often move money left from the primary or an earlier race into the general account: KREF prints that as a receipt and as an expenditure on the account it left. We count it as a balance moved in or out, in neither raised nor spent, so a candidate's raised figure here can be well below KREF's own total receipts, and raised minus spent will not equal cash on hand. KREF's as-filed totals are kept beside ours in our data file. A filer's loan or transfer entered as an ordinary line and identified only in the filer's own words is read that way and listed there with the as-filed type. Party and caucus committees are not candidates, file for different periods, and are read from one report's summary; they are never added to candidate figures, and money they give candidates would show up on both sides.

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

• KREF's receipt exports carry no in-kind code, so a filled 'In kind Description' marks an in-kind receipt, except where the filer typed only an amount there. That reading matches KREF's totals except for the differences counted below.
• Report periods come from KREF's published dates by report type; the reports themselves do not print a start or end date on the pages saved, so the start of each period shown is the earliest dated line in the account, not a state-set date.
• Post-election reports are not due until Dec. 14, 2026, so nothing here covers Oct. 20 onward.
• Independent expenditures reported by other filers for or against these candidates are not counted in any candidate's figures.
• Whether an ordinary spending line paid back a loan or moved a balance could only be read from the filer's own words; a line described differently would stay in spent.
• 12 candidates on the ballot have a general-election account with no report on KREF's page; most chose the reporting exemption, which requires only post-election reports. Their money is not reported yet and is shown as blank, not zero.
• 3 candidates have no 15-day pre-general report on KREF's page as of Nov. 6, 2026; their figures stop at an earlier report. We did not determine why, and a report could still arrive after this pull.
• 1 candidate(s) on the Secretary of State's list were not matched to a KREF general-election account: Lisa Harris. Shown with blank figures and not yet checked further.
• 8 KREF general-election accounts for these offices were not matched to the Secretary of State's list, so they are not in the tables; they are kept in our data file with whatever KREF shows. We did not determine why each one is not on the list.
• 17 differences between KREF's running totals, its report summaries and the filed lines were found on 6 accounts; they are listed in our data file and those accounts were not corrected. Jennifer Decker's general-election account also opens its 15-day report $500.00 below the amended 30-day report's ending balance, so its cash on hand is $500.00 less than its lines add to; cash on hand here is KREF's figure.
• Party and caucus figures come from one report each. Most end June 30, 2026, before most general-election spending; the building fund's ends Sept. 30, 2026. Their spending lines were not split, so a loan repayment or transfer inside 'spent' would not show.
