By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 20 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.

What these totals do and do not cover
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Jamesunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
Fundraising and eventsThe cost of raising money: finance consultants, donor list rental and acquisition, event venues, catering, and donor processing.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Sep 30, 2026.
All 80 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
8 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $10,159 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
