By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 3 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.

Who stands behind the outside spending: the people and organizations its money traces to
Who stands behind the outside spending $308.7M 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, 34% to named individuals, 30% to organizations, 20% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 6.7% to committees nothing more could be followed from, 10% not itemized in the filings.

Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$334,887,500 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Christensen’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Christensenunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
