Funding profile

Unweighted · never a blended score
Small-donor (grassroots) share11.1%
From the unitemized (sub-$200) total, which reconciles exactly against FEC's individual-contribution figure. Small gifts that ActBlue/WinRed itemize aren't counted here — see the size-based measure below.
Small-dollar by transaction size16%
Share of itemized + unitemized contributions received in individual transactions under $200 (FEC schedule_a/by_size), counting each gift by its own amount — so it captures small repeat donors the unitemized field hides. Its denominator is raw itemized receipts, so it reads conservatively.
PAC share of contributions0.8%
Committee & JFC transfer share6.8%
Share of receipts (excluding self-funding and loans) that arrived as transfers from joint-fundraising and other authorized committees rather than direct contributions — reported in the sending committees’ filings, never undisclosed “dark” money. This bar is the transfer component only, not the whole non-direct remainder — a determined 0% means no transfer receipts (other complement receipts such as offsets may still exist); “—” means no external receipts to decompose.
In-state contributor share37%
Share of itemized individual dollars from in-state donors — unitemized (<$200) contributions have no state breakdown.
Top-20 donor concentration1.8%
Share from the 20 largest individual donors this 2-year period, by exact name — a neutral concentration measure, approximate (recurring small-dollar donors may be undercounted), not a score.

Funding mix & position over time

Across every election cycle on record

Small-dollar share up from 0% (1992) to 52.2% (2026) A cycle with too little reported money to trust any ratio is left out entirely; a cycle where one specific figure can't be computed (e.g. an all-itemizing committee has no small-dollar figure to read) is left out of just that line. Includes cycles run for a different chamber.
