The racial/ethnic data in this table incorporate maximum reporting, which means that candidates may select multiple races/ethnicities. All races/ethnicities selected by an individual candidate are counted in the respective racial/ethnic group. As a result of this overlap, summing the racial/ethnic category totals yields a larger number than the total number of candidates.
