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.

Individual-donor conduit dependency

lifetime

13% by dollars

43976 of 91900 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) 92% · Committee-routed (PAC / party / JFA / conduit) 8%

91900 individual contributions to this candidate's principal committee vs 10105 committee-routed contributions across every committee this candidate has authorized ($34,090,772 vs $2,951,251). 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

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.
