Where the money came from $90,589 reported receipts
LoansMoney the campaign borrowed this cycle, from the candidate or a lender, which it may repay.$39,10043%
Who lent it
Diana Kastenbaumthe candidate’s own money · 6 loans · $39.1K not yet repaid$39,100
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Sep 28, 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.
Itemized (over $200)Donors who have given more than $200 this cycle, so the FEC itemizes (names) them.$19,03021%

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.

Diana Kastenbaum For Congress
Outside spending $7,713 across this race
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$7,713 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Kastenbaum’s own record.

A further $500 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 ($18,982) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

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 28, 2026.
All 120 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $1,209 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.
