Why this number?

The ending cash balances the campaign's 2 committees each reported on their most recent filing, added together (each as filed, not computed).

Added together, as reported on each filing:

YE 2018 — KUSTOFF FOR CONGRESS 2002 YEAR-END $553 filing-stated
YE 2018 — KUSTOFF FOR CONGRESS YEAR-END $71,348 filing-stated

Sum of every cash receipt bucket: itemized contributions from others + the candidate's own contributions + loans + filer-stated unitemized + (federal) transfers and other receipts. Excludes the value of donated goods & services, shown separately as In-Kind Received. Note: a separate cross-filing check found a loan-balance carryforward discontinuity in the filings behind this figure. The reports have not been reconciled to determine the cause of the unexplained balance change.

Who funds this campaign

Individuals gave 56% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 43%; other sources made up 2%.

Individuals (itemized) $994K · 56% Organizations & PACs $757K · 43% Other sources $29K · 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.

Germantown $111K6%

Loans

Campaign loans
Lender	Amount	Date Received	Outstanding	Repaid

Of the $521,000 lent, $0 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $521,000 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.
