Itemized contributions from a state other than Tennessee, divided by everything the campaign raised (shown only when the state of most itemized money is known — above 99% coverage).
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 →
52% 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 48%.
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.
| Itemized individual contributions | $1,087,494 |
| Unitemized small donations | $1,185,352 |
Individuals gave 47% of the itemized money; organizations and PACs gave 2%.
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.
| From individuals (itemized) | $1,087,494 |
| Unitemized small donations | $1,185,352 |
| From organizations and PACs | $36,094 |
| Offsets and other receipts | $3,313 |
Where the money comes from Shares of itemized dollars, by the contributor’s state and city as filed.

- Chicago, IL $53K5%
- New York, NY $51K5%
- Washington, DC $50K4%
- Elsewhere in Tennessee $127K
- Other out-of-state $617K
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).
