Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down everything the campaign raised: the candidate’s own money (including self-loans), individuals (including unitemized small gifts), organizations and PACs, and “other” (in-kind contributions, loans other than the candidate’s, and the like) — open its “Why this number?” for the full breakdown. Gift-size and location figures cover itemized contributions only. Aggregates count everyone who gave, including donors below the $200 disclosure floor — a share across all donors identifies no one.

Individuals gave 17%; organizations and PACs gave 80%; other sources made up 3%.
Why this number?
Share from individuals compares from individuals with everything the campaign raised.
Show formula

Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is individuals divided by the total.
| From individuals | $1,800 |
| From organizations and PACs | $8,645 |
| In-kind contributions (goods & services) | $303 |
