All financial summaries cover the complete Supreme Court election cycle, although the actual time period may vary depending on a candidate's previous electoral activity or when the candidate's campaign committee first registered and started raising money. Ending cash comes from the July report filed after the election. (For a more complete explanation of campaign finance election cycles see our campaign finance glossary.)
Only final ballot candidates and races with more than one candidate are listed. All figures are rounded to the nearest dollar. Total spent includes transfers to committees (Walt Kelly, candidate in 1997, is the only Supreme Court candidate to make such transfers).
Winners' names are in bold. An asterisk (*) next to a candidate's name indicates an incumbent. Where an individual campaign finance profile is available for a justice, clicking on the winner's name will take you to that profile. Individual contributors for all Supreme Court candidates and Justices since 1990 can be found in our searchable database.
