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 →

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

|---|
Of the $1,650,000 lent, $0 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $1,650,000 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.
