How this page’s support is counted
Only confirmed, unrefunded USD gifts credited to this page count toward its $100 research goal. Smaller gifts contribute toward the same goal. Links are published after recipient verification; funding does not guarantee that an eligible, active donation page exists. Published links remain free.
Stripe receives a reference to this page. The public leaderboard shows page totals, never donor names or contact details. We do not promise a tax deduction.
These are reported committee totals—not a measure of who benefited from every dollar. Candidate support and opposition appear separately in itemized spending records, which may cover later dates.

Coordinated party spending$0.000 transactions

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.
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.
66.3% of published positive state-cell amounts outside District of Columbia
District of Columbia26 distinct reported contributors · 43 rows$56,500.0033.7%
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.
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.

How to read this page
Registration type, direct contributions, and outside spending are different.
A committee can contribute directly to candidates, make independent expenditures, transfer money, or do some combination permitted by its registration. Election.org keeps those categories separate and does not infer support, opposition, coordination, or control from a name alone.
