Why this number?
Funds Raised The money the campaign took in — cash and checks, plus the candidate’s own money, loans, and transfers from affiliated committees. It does not include the value of donated goods and services; where a campaign received any, that is shown separately as In-Kind Received. Full definition →
$1,885,636
includes $355 in small gifts the filer reported as a lump sum
includes $8,855 in loans, offsets, and other receipts not itemized in FEC filings
Why this number?
In-Kind Received Goods or services donated to the campaign instead of cash — say, free printing or donated consulting — reported at fair-market value. Counted toward the same $200 disclosure threshold as cash gifts. Full definition →

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 54% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 45%.

Individuals (itemized) $1.0M · 54% Organizations & PACs $855K · 45%
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: $1,009,979 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $1,885,946

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).
