Auto-generated from the data above

Small-dollar donors under $200 supplied 44.1% of this campaign's individual money — among the more small-dollar-funded campaigns in the U.S. Senate.

Funding profile

Unweighted · never a blended score
Small-donor (grassroots) share44.1%
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 size60.1%
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 contributions1.8%
Committee & JFC transfer share7%
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 share45.9%
Share of itemized individual dollars from in-state donors — unitemized (<$200) contributions have no state breakdown.
Top-20 donor concentration4.8%
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 19.5% (2012) to 46.4% (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.

Sector / industry breakdown

Itemized individual donors · by employer/occupation

Employer/occupation reported on itemized ($200+) individual contributions, grouped into broad sectors. Sectors with fewer than 5 distinct donors are folded into "All other (suppressed)" so no small group can be traced to one donor. Based on this committee's largest itemized contributions (a bounded sample, not the complete donor list) — sector totals are approximate and won't sum to the full itemized total.

Affiliated committees

Separate FEC filings · not counted above

Separate FEC-registered committees linked to this member — leadership-PAC or joint-fundraising vehicles. Each reports its own money in its own filing; those dollars are not part of the receipts above and are never added to them. The link is the FEC candidate–committee association and does not imply the member controls or personally receives these funds.
