“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, 26% to named individuals, 43% to organizations, 26% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 0.8% to committees nothing more could be followed from, 4.2% not itemized in the filings.
