Who stands behind the outside spending $9.9M 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. Of what traced, 26% to named individuals, 30% to organizations, 20% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 23% not itemized in the filings.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 30 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 $33,100 came from donors whose answer names no employer (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 ($20,672) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

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 Sep 30, 2026.
All 142 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
14 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $38,739 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.
