Raised and spent are the FEC's official 2025–26 totals through Oct 14, 2026. Poliscope, which supplies the donor, PAC and sector breakdowns on this page, has not loaded the latest report yet and shows $11.2M raised through Jun 30, 2026, so those breakdowns cover an earlier period. FEC.gov's headline for senators covers the full six-year term, so it is larger than the 2025–26 figure here.
Pete Ricketts is a Republican Senator from NE. Ricketts's campaign has raised $11.2 million from 870 donors. Funding includes 1.5% from small-dollar donors (under $200) and 80.0% from in-state contributors. Top funding sources by employer include APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT, RDV CORPORATION, HERZOG. Campaign committees include PETE RICKETTS FOR SENATE.
