Who gave.

Who gives $102M from individuals

54% in small-dollar gifts

$55M of $102M came unitemized: from donors whose gifts to the campaign this cycle total $200 or less, whom the campaign does not have to name.

Adding itemized gifts from donors whose itemized total is $200 or less, about 58%. Many small gifts sent through ActBlue or WinRed are itemized anyway, so the first figure runs low; this estimate groups donors by name and ZIP code as filed and counts only itemized gifts already in the FEC bulk file.

The itemized gifts below add up to $28M of the $47M the campaign reported itemizing through Oct 14, 2026. The FEC has not yet processed the rest into its bulk file, which runs to Jun 30, 2026 for this campaign.

18% from Georgia · 82% from elsewhere

Of itemized gifts, by the state on each donor's mailing address. Giving from other states is lawful and common.

83% of itemized dollars came earmarked through a conduit such as ActBlue or WinRed; each gift is counted once.

Employers as donors wrote them on the form. A company listed here did not give this money; people who work there did.

Retired, self-employed, not employed or not given: $22M. Employers named by fewer than three donors, or filed as a person's name: $5.2M, not listed so no one donor is singled out.

Summary through Oct 14, 2026. Itemized gifts dated Jan 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026, net of refunds (377,644 entries). Every itemized contribution on FEC.gov ↗

From the principal campaign committee's FEC reports; joint-fundraising transfers and later reports are not included, and no donor is named here. A contribution is not evidence of a vote, favor or wrongdoing.

Outside money in the final weeks.

Outside spending including late reports: $4.2M for / $16M against · $966K in the final two weeks

That is $20M more than the $627K in regular reports alone. Source: FEC regular reports plus 24- and 48-hour reports they do not yet cover. The final two weeks run Oct 21, 2026 to Nov 3, 2026, by the date each ad or mailing went out.

$3.5M of the $20M on late reports was filed as an estimate. A 24- or 48-hour report is due within a day or two of the spending; the spender's later regular report carries the final cost.

Questions worth asking.

Money shows who backed a campaign, not how a person will act. Compare it with what they did and said: their votes or official actions if they have held office, their own statements, and their answers to a finding. Use the same questions for every candidate.

FEC bulk data read November 4, 2026. Campaign totals come from each filing's own FEC summary through its latest processed report. Outside spending is independent expenditures itemized in committee reports in the FEC bulk files, primaries included; late 24- and 48-hour reports, party coordinated spending, communication costs and groups that do not report to the FEC are not included. Outside spending is, by law, made without coordinating with the candidate, and it is not the candidate's money. A contribution or expenditure is not evidence of a vote, favor or wrongdoing. This page identifies the filing by its FEC candidate ID; a person can hold more than one filing.
