Independent spending filed on Maryland's races, by whether the committee is also spending in other states this cycle. A filing records where a group spends, not where its donors live, so this is a measure of reach, never of who paid for it.

Every race on the ballot

Each row names the November ballot on record; the filed count is every candidate on file with the FEC, not counting those who withdrew, retired or died. Each row opens the full field, the money, and the outside spending for that seat.
