Person: Cardenas, Tony · every race, every cycle
Raised — contributing committees / cycle
Spent — vendor payments / cycle
IE support — independent expenditures for this candidate / cycle
Transferred out — other candidates funded / cycle
All four, combined -- 2016-2028
2016–2028 · entity counts (money-dark); dollar trends light up at the flip. "Raised" is committee-routed contributions only — individual donors stay held pending the privacy decision, and there is no distinct bundler surface yet (#2488).

Every candidate on file for this race. A party with more than one filer is a live primary contest -- who becomes that party's nominee isn't in the data yet. Cash on hand is the official FEC filing figure, as of the filing's own coverage date -- not a live estimate. The remaining columns are money-dark proxies (counts, not dollars); a dash means no data on file for that candidate yet. Click a column heading to sort.

Money received from committees, split by the type of the paying committee (PAC, Super PAC, party, joint-fundraising, conduit). Individual (person) giving is aggregated separately with privacy suppression and is not included here.
42% by dollars
4088 of 7326 individual contributions on file routed through a conduit, lifetime -- not per-cycle (the underlying edge source can't be cleanly split by year). Conduit dollars are the true donor's money, passed through a platform; not double-counted.
● Individual (direct) 63% · ● Committee-routed (PAC / party / JFA / conduit) 37%
7326 individual contributions to this candidate's principal committee vs 13390 committee-routed contributions across every committee this candidate has authorized ($6,574,689 vs $3,900,650). Two different grains -- individual money is scoped to the principal committee only; committee-routed money spans every authorized committee -- combined here as the closest count-first read of PAC- vs individual-dependence available today. Part of the funding-concentration strip (#2730); donor-sector concentration and top-vendor share are not yet available.
Money disbursed by this candidate's principal committee: contributions to other candidates (the "raises big, then funds allies" signal), transfers to committees by destination type, vendor spending, and independent expenditures made.
Aggregated itemized individual giving, geocoded to donor home address, suppressed for privacy (small or single-donor-dominated cells withheld). Unitemized giving has no geography.
