“Proposed” marks money from groups whose place is not yet reviewed by a person. 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, 85% to named individuals, 2.7% to organizations, 12% not itemized in the filings.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| Person · behind The Conservative Caucus DBA Americans for Constitutional Liberty | $3.8K |
Read for all 3 groups 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 $1,852 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 50 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 14, 2026.
All 969 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $4,200 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.
