"The national debt has more than tripled since Mark Warner took office. Back then he said he would lead the way to balancing the budget, but he's joined the Democratic leadership in Washington to enact a tax-and-spend agenda. In the Senate, I will focus on balancing the budget to protect future generations from financial ruin."

"Mark Warner voted for higher taxes that would cost the average Virginia family more than $3,600 a year. In the Senate, I will lower the tax on selling your home, lower the tax burden on Virginia families, and help bring down the cost of living."

"As a four-time combat veteran with 41 years in uniform, I understand the difficult issues facing veterans, their families and survivors. I will protect veterans' benefits, expand access to quality healthcare, and ensure veterans aren't stuck waiting on Washington for the care they earned."

Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 366 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $247.7K.
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.
Total reported receipts $1,141,130
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 13 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 · 234 contributions · 66% of ranked | $157,926 |
| Written instead of an employer · 103 contributions · 16% of ranked | $37,975 |
| 1 contribution · 2.9% of ranked | $7,000 |
| 1 contribution · 2.9% of ranked | $7,000 |

| 1 contribution · 1.3% of ranked | $3,000 |
A further $9,000 came from donors whose answer names no employer (None, 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 ($418,614) 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 $5,839 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $495,897
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 449 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
153 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $145,378 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 |
|---|---|
| 220 payments · 15% of all spending | $147,811 |
| 6 payments · 8.1% of all spending | $79,492 |
| 4 payments · 3.8% of all spending | $37,463 |

| 4 payments · 1.8% of all spending | $17,425 |
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.
