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.

In 2022, Minnesotans donated nearly $59 million to political causes. This is significantly lower than donations contributed in 2020 when more than $136 million was donated.

Minnesota has a maximum political contribution limit of $4,000 over two years. The limit is highest for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor races and lower for the Attorney General and legislative races.
