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).

42% by dollars
1581 of 3503 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) 70% · ● Committee-routed (PAC / party / JFA / conduit) 30%
3503 individual contributions to this candidate's principal committee vs 614 committee-routed contributions across every committee this candidate has authorized ($2,905,938 vs $1,236,503). 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.
