How much was spent on Senate races?

Control of the Senate was up for grabs in the 2018 midterm elections, and along with it President Trump's ability to shape the judicial branch of government. Both parties fought hard to control this chamber of Congress, so how did this translate to fundraising? A first step at understanding this issue is to visualize the distribution of funds received by Senate candidates.
