By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 27 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 $42,843 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, None, blank), so it is not ranked. 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 ($28,566) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money from groups, by interest $886,830
What the committees giving to Menendez’s campaign or spending on ads about Menendez are: a company or industry, a union, a cause, a party or politician. Money from individual donors is not included.

Outside spending $912,515 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.
$912,505 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Menendez’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Menendezunder “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 $912.5K 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.

All 889 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
22 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $106,933 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.
