By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 3 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($27,156) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

What these totals do and do not cover
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$6,009 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Chaudhry’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Chaudhryunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
