San Diego's seniors built this community. They deserve to retire with dignity — not spend their final years choosing between medication and rent. Steve Cohen will defend Social Security and Medicare from cuts and ensure that the generation that invested in San Diego isn't abandoned by Washington.

Steve Cohen spent his career investigating where the money goes — and who benefits. In Congress, he'll bring that same scrutiny to the federal budget: demanding transparency in government spending, opposing wasteful earmarks, and ensuring your tax dollars reach San Diego families.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 2 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.

|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 1 contribution · 93% of ranked | $3,500 |
| 1 contribution · 6.7% of ranked | $250 |
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.

Gifts of $200 or less ($342) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
