By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 36 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 · 352 contributions · 30% of ranked | $127,373 |

A further $13,257 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 ($85,509) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
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.
The campaign also refunded $21,532 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $638,487
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 Oct 14, 2026.
All 543 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
14 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $32,800 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.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 5 payments · 18% of all spending | $135,400 |
| 2 payments · 9.7% of all spending | $74,670 |
| 3 payments · 6.5% of all spending | $50,000 |
| 6 payments · 6.2% of all spending | $47,988 |

| 2 payments · 4.8% of all spending | $37,300 |
| 7 payments · 4.7% of all spending | $36,613 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
| Occupation as filed | Amount |
