Dear Friend,

As we approach Election Day, Transparency USA is actively tracking the spending in state politics. We believe when citizens know what’s really happening in state politics, they have the tools to hold their elected officials accountable. And when citizens can hold their lawmakers accountable, they can take action and make a difference.

Tracking campaign dollars donated to state politics in 2024 shows us just how much is being raised - and spent - across the country. The following chart reflects campaign dollars raised in the 2024 election cycle. 

Wondering why some states are missing? We are proud to offer data for 21 states, with Georgia being this year’s latest addition! Hit “Reply” to learn more about how to partner with us in bringing transparency and accountability to more states.

Campaign finance plays a crucial role in shaping state elections, influencing everything from candidate viability to voter engagement. Each state has its own set of rules governing contributions, spending limits, and disclosure requirements. Understanding these regulations can provide insight into the political landscape and the dynamics at play during elections. On our website, we offer educational articles and videos - and the best part is they’re completely free.

Did you know Transparency USA’s website offers a “Compare Races” feature, allowing you to immediately compare the money in any state election? Click the link to watch a video with step by step instructions, or click here to get started!

In this election season, I’m sincerely grateful for our donors and supporters who partner with us to bring transparency to the money in state politics. You are making a difference!
