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 4%; organizations and PACs gave 95%.

Individuals $2K · 4% Organizations & PACs $45K · 95%
Why this number?

Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), individuals, organizations and PACs, and everything else — loans other than the candidate's, in-kind contributions, and (for federal filers) committee transfers and other receipts. Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is individuals divided by the total.

From individuals: $2,000 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $47,119
Inputs behind Share from individuals
From individuals $2,000
From organizations and PACs $44,820
In-kind contributions (goods & services) $299

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 →

Tennessee $33,570 Out of state $13,250
  • Nashville $14K30%
  • Brentwood $12K26%
  • Washington, DC $4K9%
  • Elsewhere in Tennessee $8K
  • Other out-of-state $9K
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).

Itemized money from outside Tennessee: $13,250 ÷ Itemized money with a known state: $46,820
Inputs behind Out-of-state share of located dollars

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 Iris Rudder’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.
