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 raised vs spent
comingRaised-vs-spent over time — the per-cycle totals surface is coming.
Where the money comes from
by source type● Conduits (ActBlue / WinRed) 52% · ● PACs 48% · ● Super PACs 1%
| Source type | Contributions | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Conduits (ActBlue / WinRed) | 51749 | $2,582,037 |
| PACs | 1457 | $2,402,904 |
| Super PACs | 12 | $27,550 |
| Total (committee-sourced) | $5,012,492 |
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 | 57 | $2,549,989 |
| Total | $2,549,989 |
Committee-to-committee transfers received by this candidate's principal committee, split by the type of the sending committee.
Individual-donor conduit dependency
lifetime24% by dollars
60343 of 174678 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) 87% · ● Committee-routed (PAC / party / JFA / conduit) 13%
174678 individual contributions to this candidate's principal committee vs 53218 committee-routed contributions across every committee this candidate has authorized ($34,912,189 vs $5,012,492). 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.
