Counted toward the same $200 disclosure threshold as cash gifts. This figure adds the in-kind contributions itemized on the selected reports. The Registry reports in-kind apart from receipts, so it is not part of the receipts figure. Full definition →

Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down the receipts the headline adds up, by the lines of each report behind it; its parts add up to the headline. Open its “Why this number?” for each report’s lines. 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. Full definition →

Gift size Each individual donor’s total giving to this campaign this cycle.

Average gift per individual donor compares total from individual donors with individual donors.

Show formula

Every individual donor's total contributions to this campaign, divided by the number of individual donors. Organizations and PACs are excluded (this measures people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. The median and the gift-size buckets are computed over the same individual-donor totals. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).

Where the money went Each expenditure carries a short description of what it was for, written by the campaign. We sort those descriptions into a fixed set of categories; one expenditure goes in one category, so the amounts add up to Chuck Bates’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

  • Printing & mail $38,059 68%
  • Advertising & media $16,364 29%
  • Other $1,624 3%
  • Office & operations $300 0.6%

Campaign loans
Lender Amount Date Received Outstanding Repaid

Of the $48,800 lent, $0 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $48,800 was drawn before them and is still listed because it has not been fully repaid — so it counts as debt this campaign owes, not as money it raised.

Each loan shows its balance as of the candidate's most recent filing; repayments since then appear when the next report is filed.
