2 NAME/DISTRICT MATCHES

These Clerk index records match this FEC record by first name, last name, state, and House district. The sources do not share a durable person identifier, so Election.org labels the join instead of asserting identity. These are personal disclosure filings—not campaign receipts or spending.

A filing or securities transaction is not evidence of wrongdoing, material nonpublic information, intent, profit, loss, or a conflict of interest. The join remains only an exact first-name, last-name, state, and House-district match.

FEC ITEMIZED FILES

These panels show privacy-thresholded itemized individual-receipt activity and amendment-normalized operating expenditures. They are descriptive slices of filings—not a complete substitute for the official financial summary.

Itemized individual receipt activity over time

Monthly transaction activity from the FEC individual-contributions file. Current-cycle files can contain earlier-dated transactions; signed amendments, refunds, reattributions, and memo entries remain in the source-defined analysis.

1 calendar months · 1 published cells

Only committee/month cells with at least 5 distinct reported contributors are published. A missing cell can reflect source absence or the privacy threshold; it does not mean zero activity. Published amounts are unchanged.

Source: FEC individual-contributions bulk file ↗, imported . This panel does not include PAC receipts.

Where itemized contributor addresses were reported

State is taken from the contributor address on the FEC row. It does not prove residence, citizenship, employer location, or the ultimate economic source of funds.

0.0% of published positive state-cell amounts outside Iowa
Iowa23 distinct reported contributors · 29 rows$22,375.00100.0%

Only committee/state groups with at least 5 distinct reported contributors are published. Percentages divide by the sum of all positive published, privacy-thresholded committee/state cells, including cells beyond the top 12 shown. Zero and negative state cells are excluded from this denominator; these shares do not describe all contributions or all campaign receipts.

Reported operating-expenditure categories

FEC filer-selected categories from Schedule B operating expenditures. Memo-code X rows are excluded because the FEC says they are not included in the itemization total.
