By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 47 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.

A further $68,978 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 ($624,876) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $22,759,450 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.
$22,759,450 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Murphy’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Murphyunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

All 1,434 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
6 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $48,608 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.
