2024 U.S. Representative, District 6 · totals since Jan 1, 2023
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 2023–YE 2024
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 →
15% 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 85%.
Largest part: individuals, itemized (line 11a), 59% of receipts on these reports.

Where the money went Each expenditure carries a short description of what it was for, written by the campaign.

Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

Of the $4,050,000 lent, $400,000 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $3,650,000 was drawn before them and is still listed because it has not been fully repaid — so it counts as debt this campaign owes, not as money it raised.
Each loan shows its balance as of the candidate's most recent filing; repayments since then appear when the next report is filed.
