Nebraska Campaign Finance

Contributions, loans and spending reported to the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission, 2022–2026, collected from the FirstTuesday bulk extracts. Cross-source search across contracts, contributions and lobbying is in the Public Records Hub.

25,173 contributors · 926 filers, 2022–2026. Only itemized transactions are searchable here — contributions at or below the roughly $250 aggregate threshold are reported as lump sums on a committee's summary page, not as line items, so a small donor's total here is often an undercount, never an overcount.

Read this before quoting it

Summing the amount column over-counts. The state fans one transaction out over several rows that share an ID — an independent expenditure against five candidates is five rows, a contribution to a slate committee is one row per candidate — repeating the amount on each. Every row carries an include_in_total flag; this page's totals sum only where it is true. For 2022 contributions alone that is the difference between $68,865,363 and $68,955,221.

Provenance

Downloaded from the NADC's bulk data page, most recently 2026-09-08. The state publishes column layouts, but the expenditures layout misnames three of its own columns and the transaction-type lists in both PDFs do not match the data, so the scraper checks every header against a confirmed layout and fails loudly rather than guessing.
