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 →
Individuals gave 94%; organizations and PACs gave 0%; other sources made up 6%.
Why this number?
Share from individuals compares from individuals 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 individuals divided by the total.
| From individuals | $2,492 |
| In-kind contributions (goods & services) | $163 |

Loans
$500.00 in loan principal shown. $0.00 was borrowed in this campaign; $500.00 was carried into these filings from an earlier period. Later reports can repeat an outstanding loan, so each reconstructed lender balance is counted once below.
Why this number?
Loan principal shown adds together the amounts listed below.
Show formula
Loan schedules can repeat an outstanding debt on later reports. This is the reconstructed principal for each lender, counted once, split between candidate or family loans and all other lenders. Repayments and outstanding balances are shown separately in the ledger.
| Candidate and family loans | $500 |
| Loan principal shown | $500 |
| Lender | Type | Received | Principal | Repaid | Outstanding |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self (Tona Monroe) | Candidate loan | Jan 11, 2008 | $500.00 | $500.00 | $0.00 |
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 Tona Monroe’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.
- Printing & mail $2,041 73%
- Advertising & media $762 27%
Loans
| Lender | Amount | Date Received | Outstanding | Repaid |
|---|
Of the $500 lent, $0 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $500 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.
