John J. Duncan, Jr. — 2008 U.S. Representative, District 2 campaign

U.S. Representative, District 2 Republican

2008 U.S. Representative, District 2

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 → · 11 filings · Q1 2007–YE 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 →
$1,535,807
as of the Year-End report
→ carried into 2010 U.S. House 2
Why this number?
Raised (cash) Cash and cash-like receipts the campaign took in: contributions, the candidate’s own money, loans, and transfers from affiliated committees. Donated goods and services are not cash; they appear separately as In-Kind Received. Bookkeeping entries such as a carried balance, accounting adjustment, or refund also stay only in the filing’s own totals. Full definition →
$647,020
includes $84,930 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 →

Total Spent
$496,473
Why this number?
Spent of Cash Raised How much of the cash this campaign took in it went on to spend, measured now that its reporting has closed. Above 100% means it spent more than it raised for this race, drawing on money it already had when the cycle opened. 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 →

The candidate’s own money made up 0.3% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 22%, organizations and PACs 64%, with 14% from other sources.

Candidate’s own money $2K · 0.3% Individuals (itemized) $145K · 22% Organizations & PACs $414K · 64% Other sources $88K · 14%
Why this number?

Share from the candidate compares from the candidate's own money with everything the campaign raised.

Show formula

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 the candidate divided by the total.

From the candidate's own money: $1,500 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $650,122
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $1,500
From individuals (itemized) $144,850

In-kind contributions (goods & services) $3,101
Offsets and other receipts $84,930
