As each campaign reported to the FEC. Some money has no line here, so these may not add up to the total. Committees giving to Bill Foster. Committees giving to Jeff Walter.

Money: FEC bulk data, through Oct 14. One or more are matched to the FEC by name, party and seat, so a total could belong to someone else.

How these are counted

Total receipts line of each candidate’s principal campaign committee, 2025-2026 cycle. Other sites may show career, six-year or all-committee totals, which differ. Foster: $2,588,027 received, $2,629,689 cash on hand. Walter: $431,415 received, $7,780 cash on hand. The spectrum is a published research score, not our rating. How this works.
