By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 8 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.

Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$7,193,542 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Brown’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Brownunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
