Groups set up for one candidate or one race: no parent organization, and 80% or more of their spending on that race, for a candidate, against their rival, or both. A group that is part of an older organization (a trade, union or caucus PAC, or a party leaders’ super PAC shell) stays in its own place even when it spends on one race, and one that has spread across races is filed by its side.$8.8K37%
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, 82% to named individuals, 1.8% to organizations, 1.3% to committees nothing more could be followed from, 15% not itemized in the filings.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 17 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 $1,000 came from donors whose answer names no occupation (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 ($18,987) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$4,547,817 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Oberweis’ own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Oberweisunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

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 566 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
24 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $113,471 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.
