How these are counted
Total receipts line of each candidate’s principal campaign committee, 2025-2026 cycle, filed through Sep 30 and Oct 14. Other sites may show career, six-year or all-committee totals, which differ. Arminio: $12,302 received, $6,944 cash on hand. McBride: $5,556,755 received, $2,326,039 cash on hand. The spectrum is a published research score, not our rating. How this works. Wins and losses count the races in our results files, the same as each profile.
