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, 93 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $159.1K.
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.
The 2 largest committees by total given are listed. In all, 2 committee contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $7K. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.
Total reported receipts $270,462
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 6 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.

| Written instead of an employer · 12 contributions · 31% of ranked | $28,102 |

A further $69,257 came from donors whose answer names no employer (Information requested, 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 ($3,430) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Each group is placed by its filings and its own words, never by which party it backs. Every interest · How groups are placed
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.
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, 98% to organizations, 1.4% not itemized in the filings.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| Organization · behind Protect Progress | $146.8K |
| Organization · behind Protect Progress | $1.1K |
Read for all 1 group that spent. Shares are of what each group received, not a record of which dollar went where; an organization that need not name its donors ends the trail; a person who gave by more than one route is counted once here. It shows who stood behind the money, not what it was for.
The campaign also refunded $5,000 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.

Total itemized disbursements $222,507
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 82 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
3 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $1,880 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 |
|---|---|
| 6 payments · 26% of all spending | $60,587 |
| 2 payments · 18% of all spending | $43,311 |
| 12 payments · 17% of all spending | $40,220 |
| 11 payments · 11% of all spending | $25,246 |

| 3 payments · 2.2% of all spending | $5,172 |
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.
