Direct answer
Congress fundraising — U.S. Senate and House of Representatives races — is disclosed on public FEC filings. Track each candidate committee's receipts and cash on hand when quarterly and pre-election reports land, and compare the full field on a scoreboard.
U.S. Senate vs U.S. House
- U.S. Senate — one seat per state per cycle (Class I, II, or III); six-year terms; statewide fundraising totals on FEC
- U.S. House — 435 districts; two-year terms; district-level fundraising on FEC by candidate committee
- Not on the FEC — state senate, state house, governor, mayor, city council, aldermen, and judges (unless running for federal office)
What to compare each filing
- Total receipts this cycle vs the prior report
- Cash on hand — money available to spend before election day
- Outside spending (IE) separately from official committee totals
