What the money says

Plain language · cited

Raised $37,885,458 in the 2022 cycle. FEC ↗ Placed at approximately the 84th percentile among other U.S. Senate members this cycle.

10.8% of individual money came from small-dollar donors under $200. PACs supplied 7.9% of contributions. FEC ↗

Direct contributions — individuals, PACs, and party — make up 99% of receipts (excluding self-funding and loans); the rest is transfers from other committees and other receipts, also disclosed. FEC ↗

Auto-generated from the data above

Funding is spread across individual and committee sources, with no single category standing out from the rest of the U.S. Senate.

Funding profile

Unweighted · never a blended score
Small-donor (grassroots) share10.8%
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 size13.4%
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 contributions7.9%
Committee & JFC transfer share0.1%
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 share41.9%
Share of itemized individual dollars from in-state donors — unitemized (<$200) contributions have no state breakdown.
Top-20 donor concentration0.4%
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% (1984) to 40.5% (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.

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.
