Political campaign financial data is often updated at the end of each quarter, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
The highest earning Minnesota candidate in the 2022 politician race received nearly $8 million and won their Congressional race.
What’s known as “dark money,” which comes from political non-profits and shell corporations, has greatly increased expenditures and donations in recent elections to record-breaking highs.
