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 raised vs spent

coming

Raised-vs-spent over time — the per-cycle totals surface is coming.

Where the money comes from

by source type

● Conduits (ActBlue / WinRed) 90% · ● PACs 10% · ● Super PACs 0% · ● Party committees 0%

Source type	Contributions	Amount
Conduits (ActBlue / WinRed)	478901	$16,105,621
PACs	841	$1,757,420
Super PACs	24	$20,544
Party committees	1	$2,000
Total (committee-sourced)		$17,885,585

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.

Transfers in

from committees

Payer type	Transfers	Amount
Joint-fundraising committees	7	$367,318
Total		$367,318

Committee-to-committee transfers received by this candidate's principal committee, split by the type of the sending committee.

Individual-donor conduit dependency

lifetime

23% by dollars

149664 of 242708 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.

PAC vs. individual money

by dollars

● Individual (direct) 84% · ● Committee-routed (PAC / party / JFA / conduit) 16%

242708 individual contributions to this candidate's principal committee vs 479767 committee-routed contributions across every committee this candidate has authorized ($95,218,851 vs $17,885,585). 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.

Where the money goes

beneficiaries

$26,946,555 to vendors

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.

Where the donors are

precinct-floored · suppressed

Partial data. About 15% of donor money is geocoded, concentrated in 9 states (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL). Every other state — including the largest donor states (CA, NY, TX) — currently has zero geocoded rows. A blank state means not yet geocoded, never no donors here. Not a complete picture of donor geography.

Loading…

Aggregated itemized individual giving, geocoded to donor home address, suppressed for privacy (small or single-donor-dominated cells withheld). Unitemized giving has no geography.

Who runs it
