Of what traced, 30% to named individuals, 28% to organizations, 6.3% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 36% not itemized in the filings.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 26 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.

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 15, 2026.
All 335 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
20 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $20,287 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.
