Understanding the financial figures

“Funds raised” is the amount a campaign reports receiving, while “funds spent” is the amount it reports paying out. These totals can change as campaigns submit additional filings during the election cycle.

The listed figures should not be used to calculate cash on hand. Campaign financial reporting can include obligations, refunds, transfers and other activity that is not reflected by simply subtracting spending from receipts. No cash-on-hand amount is on file for any candidate in this race.

The finance totals also vary widely across the field. Four candidates report raising and spending while other campaigns report financial activity ranging from less than to several million dollars.

Election timeline

Arizona’s 2026 general election is set for Nov. 3. Developments to follow include changes to the candidate list, new campaign finance filings, and the filing of candidate biographies or policy positions before voters cast ballots.
