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 →

16% of this campaign’s individual contributions came as small unitemized donations — gifts under the federal itemization threshold (about $200 a cycle) that the filer reports only as a lump sum, never broken out by donor. The gift-size and location breakdowns below cover the itemized 84%.

Itemized $116K · 84% Small unitemized gifts $22K · 16%
Why this number?

The money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum — small individual gifts that never cross the federal ~$200 cycle itemization threshold, so they are disclosed only as a total, never by donor — divided by all individual contributions (itemized plus that lump sum). Both figures come straight from the filer's own report summaries. The gift-size and geography figures on this page cover the itemized portion only; this share is the part they cannot break down.

Unitemized small donations (filer-stated lump sum): $21,635 ÷ All individual contributions: $137,890
Inputs behind Share of individual money that is small unitemized gifts
Itemized individual contributions $116,255
Unitemized small donations $21,635

Individuals gave 74% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 0%; other sources made up 13%.

Individuals (itemized) $116K · 74% Organizations & PACs $0 · 0% Small unitemized gifts $22K · 14% Other sources $20K · 13%
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.

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 →

98% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (2% from out of state).

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).
