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. Full definition →

Individuals gave 46% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 47%, and 4% arrived as transfers from other committees; other sources made up 2%.

Individuals (itemized) $1.0M · 46% Organizations & PACs $1.0M · 47% Transfers from other committees $97K · 4% Other sources $55K · 2%
Why this number?

Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), itemized individuals, unitemized small donations, organizations and PACs, transfers from other committees (FEC line 12), and everything else (loans other than the candidate's, in-kind, offsets and other receipts). The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is individuals divided by the total.

From individuals: $1,034,530 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $2,229,525
Inputs behind Share from individuals
From individuals (itemized) $1,034,530
From organizations and PACs $1,042,600
Transfers from other committees $97,000
Offsets and other receipts $55,395

This total includes receipts reported by each of the candidate’s authorized committees:

  • KUSTOFF FOR CONGRESS (principal committee): $2.1M
  • KUSTOFF FOR CONGRESS 2002 (prior-cycle or other authorized committee): $90K — includes $89K moved from the candidate’s own committee, already counted once.

Where the money comes from Shares of itemized dollars, by the contributor’s state and city as filed. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it or it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into “elsewhere.” Shown only when at least 80% of dollars carry a usable state. Full definition →

55% of located dollars came from outside Tennessee (45% from inside).

Tennessee $935,050 Out of state $1,142,080

  • Germantown $78K4%
  • New York, NY $72K3%
  • Elsewhere in Tennessee $401K
  • Other out-of-state $590K
Why this number?

Itemized contribution dollars from outside Tennessee, divided by all itemized dollars whose contributor state is known. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it OR it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into elsewhere-in-Tennessee and other-out-of-state. Shown only above 99% state coverage. 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 David Kustoff’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

Loans

Campaign loans
Lender Amount Date Received Outstanding Repaid

Of the $309,000 lent, $0 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $309,000 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.
