More from Brent SanchezNJ campaign cash tops $84 million for 2026 midterms
As voters wait for polls to close on Tuesday, here's a look at some campaign cash flow figures courtesy of OpenSecrets analysis of Federal Election Commission data.
Candidates in New Jersey have raised more than $84 million this election cycle, the highest amount since the 2018 midterms.
And those funds have overwhelmingly been raised for Democratic candidates across the state.
Larger individual donations, or commitments of $200 or more, make up the majority of candidate contributions.

More from Sean P. SullivanElection monitors at the polls
What should voters expect from the Department of Justice’s plan to deploy roughly 1,000 monitors to polling places Tuesday? We asked Gov. Mikie Sherrill and U.S. Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) during a campaign event for congressional candidate Rebecca Bennett on Monday evening. The governor told NJ PBS she did not expect much of a difference at the polls for the average voter.
"This is not new," Sherrill said of the presence of federal monitors at polling places. "Federal monitors have watched our polling places and they generally are unobtrusive and not noticed. That is what should happen. If anything different happens, then we will, probably, be in court."
Kim added that despite heated rhetoric from the Trump administration over election security, both Democratic and Republican administrations had previously deployed monitors to polling places.
"So I don't want the American people at all to think that this is different and that this is going to affect them," Kim said. "I want every single one of them to feel comfortable going to the polls."
