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 6% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 57%, organizations and PACs 12%, with 25% from other sources.

Candidate’s own money $600 · 6% Individuals $6K · 57% Organizations & PACs $1K · 12% Other sources $3K · 25%
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), individuals, organizations and PACs, and everything else — loans other than the candidate's, in-kind contributions, and (for federal filers) committee transfers and other receipts. Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is the candidate divided by the total.

From the candidate's own money: $600 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $10,205
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $600
From individuals $5,845
From organizations and PACs $1,250
In-kind contributions (goods & services) $2,510

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).
