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. We sort those descriptions into a fixed set of categories; one expenditure goes in one category, so the amounts add up to Lamar Alexander’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.
- Transfers between accounts $10,000 70%
- Contributions & donations $4,250 30%
Loans
| Lender | Amount | Date Received | Outstanding | Repaid |
|---|
Of the $1,040,000 lent, $100,000 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $940,000 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.
