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 →
8% 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 92%.
Largest part: individuals, itemized (line 11a), 75% of receipts on these reports.
