Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. 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 ($3,711) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Outside spending $55,341 about Diaz-Balart
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.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Diaz-Balartunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

Who stands behind the outside spending $55.3K traced back through the groups that spent it
Each group that spent in this race is followed to where its own money came from, and what it spent is split by those shares: a group whose money was 60% one person's counts as 60% of its spending theirs. Of what traced, 18% to named individuals, 27% to organizations, 43% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 12% not itemized in the filings.
