Final This campaign’s election cycle is closed — no further reports for it are due, so these totals are settled rather than mid-race. They cover every filing we hold for the campaign; if the source archive later adds one, we load it. Full definition → · 8 filings · Mid-Year 2007–Q4 2008

Ended With What was left in the campaign’s account when its reporting closed — the ending balance on its final report for this race. It is a leftover, not a war chest: money still to be spent, refunded, given away, or carried into the next campaign. Full definition →

Itemized in-kind 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. 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. Organizations, PACs, and the candidate’s own money are excluded (this is about people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. A donor named on the page can still sit in a small bucket — these are cycle totals, not “unnamed donors.” Full definition →

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).
