Each report’s own period, as filed with the FEC; a report filed again counts once, as its latest copy.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 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 donor who gave several times appears once. The 2 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 8 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $216.1K.
Total reported receipts $261,825

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 |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 4 contributions · 100% of ranked | $215,526 |
A further $526 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked.

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 ($111) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
