By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 39 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 $98,583 came from donors whose answer names no employer (None, 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 ($27,156) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

“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, 98% to organizations, 1.4% not itemized in the filings.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| Organization · behind Protect Progress | $499.9K |
| Organization · behind RNJ 2 Save America T/A RNJ 2 SA | $6.4K |
| Organization · behind Protect Progress | $3.8K |
Read for all 2 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 $32,312 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.

All 987 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
49 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $271,625 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.

| 23 payments · 1.9% of all spending | $251,397 |

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.
