Where the receipts came from
Denominator: receipts of $26,476,153. Shares are rounded to 1 decimal place and may not sum to 100. Under $200 means the gift stayed unitemized. A person who gives smaller amounts that add up to more than $200 is counted in Large once the campaign itemizes them.
The under-$200 amount is the OpenFEC unitemized total when this snapshot marks it as reported.
The bar is a visual of the non-negative shares. The table uses the reported percents.
| Source | Dollars | Share of receipts |
|---|---|---|
| Under $200 (unitemized) | $17,676,279 | 66.8% |
| Large (itemized individual) | $7,406,099 | 28.0% |
| PACs | $27 | 0.0% |
| Party | $0 | 0.0% |
| Candidate's own money | $0 | 0.0% |
| Other | $1,393,748 | 5.3% |
Candidate loans, included in the candidate's own money: $0. Loan repayments are not a separate field in this snapshot.

Gaps
- Some groups (for example 501(c)(4) nonprofits) don't have to disclose their donors. Their spending appears here only if they reported it to the FEC as an independent expenditure. Their donors are not shown because they are not public.
- Unitemized donations have no address or employer. State, employer, and industry amounts on this page do not include them.
- Industry coding for this cycle covers 17.5% of itemized individual money, under the 50% flag and under the 70% target. The listed industries are not all itemized money and not all receipts.
- This snapshot does not include Senate LD-203 contribution amounts, electioneering-communication totals, communication-cost totals, or contractor parent-company IDs. Empty or missing values in those fields are not a count of zero.
How we count
All numbers come from public reports that campaigns and committees file with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), plus Senate lobbying disclosures and USAspending.gov. We use the same method for every member.
- Totals are the campaign committee's own reported totals for the two-year cycle, as of the date shown.
- Under $200 (unitemized) is money from donors whose total for the cycle stayed at $200 or less, so the campaign didn't have to list them by name. Large is itemized individual money. PACs, party, and the candidate's own money (including loans) are shown separately.
- State, employer, and industry breakdowns use itemized donations only, because unitemized donations have no address or employer. We show how much of the money each breakdown covers.
- Employer means what the donor wrote on the form. It is not money from the company. Industries are our own grouping of employers and job titles, and some can't be grouped.
- ActBlue and WinRed are processing services. Money sent through them is counted once, as coming from the original donors, and never as coming from ActBlue or WinRed.
- Outside money is spending by other groups for or against the member that the group reported to the FEC. We always show both.
- Lobbying clients and federal contractors are listed only when the organization's own PAC gave, or it reported the gift on a Senate lobbying contribution report. We show dollars only. A listing doesn't mean anything was exchanged.
- Refunds are subtracted. Amended reports replace earlier versions. Money moved between a member's own committees is counted once.
- What's missing: groups that don't have to name their donors ("dark money"), donations under $200 by location or employer, and anything filed after the date shown.
