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.

18 calendar months · 18 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.

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.
