Each loan as the campaign’s report through Sep 30, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.

A further $2,260 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. 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 ($2,275) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$25,113,594 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Russell’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Russellunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
