Double-check: totals reconciled two ways

Matching funds, two sources: PCFB payment list $2,150,649 (7 payments) vs. Schedule S receipts in the committee’s own filings $1,312,328 — the difference is the Oct 26 payment, made after the last report closed (Oct 19).
Duplicates removed: 17,514 raw rows in open data, 17,514 after keeping only the latest version of each transaction (amendments), and itemized sub-payments (credit-card and reimbursement detail) are counted once, not twice.

Outside money: independent expenditures

Independent expenditure committees (super PACs) can raise unlimited sums but cannot coordinate with candidates. Every NYSBOE 24-hour/weekly independent expenditure notice and paid internet/digital ad notice naming a candidate in this race, 2026, through Nov 2.

How these numbers were built

Source: NYSBOE campaign finance disclosure data (data.ny.gov e9ss-239a), pulled Nov 2, 2026, for each general-election candidate’s main committee. Reports filed for 2025–2026 for the other committees. Latest full report: 11-day pre-general, covering through Oct 19.
Total raised = monetary contributions (Schedules A–C, itemized and unitemized) + in-kind (D) + transfers in (G) + public matching funds (all PCFB payments, including Oct 26) − contributions refunded (M). Expenditure refunds and LLC member attributions (Schedule O, a memo of contributions already counted) are left out.
Spent = expenditures (Schedule F) plus qualified expenditures for public-financing committees (Schedule T). When a payment is broken into itemized sub-payments, it is counted once.
Contributor counts and sizes combine an individual’s itemized contributions across the cycle, matching on name and ZIP prefix; the same person can appear twice under different spellings or addresses. Top contributors are net of refunds linked to the original contribution.
Last-minute contributions are NYSBOE 24-hour notices (contributions over $1,000, Oct 20 – Nov 2). They will be in the Nov 30 post-general report and are not added to totals.
Outside money comes from NYSBOE independent expenditure 24-hour/weekly expenditure notices and paid internet/digital ad (PIDA) notices that name a candidate in this race. When an amended notice replaces an earlier one, only the amended amount is kept; when the same payment was filed twice (for example once as “supporting” one candidate and once as “opposing” the other, or in both notice types), it is counted once. Each group is cross-checked against its Schedule R allocations and total spending in periodic reports. Where those differ, it is usually because a committee did not file Schedule R allocations or spent after Oct 19. Funders are itemized receipts for 2025–26 plus 24-hour notices since Oct 20.
Names are as filed. Contributions and spending do not suggest wrongdoing. If a figure could not be checked, it is left out rather than estimated.
