By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 1 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.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1 contribution · 57% of ranked | $985 |
| Written instead of an employer · 1 contribution · 29% of ranked | $500 |
| 1 contribution · 14% 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 ($3,190) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
