Outside spending is not automatically dark money. A Super PAC must disclose reportable donors, but a named donor may itself receive funds from undisclosed sources. Public filings cannot always identify the original person or organization behind the money.
We show documented receipts and independently matched nonprofit identities. We do not assign an outside group’s incoming money to a particular candidate or calculate a hidden-money total. Groups can fund multiple races, retain funds, or use receipts for other purposes. Original donors: not determined.

A personal check can come from an executive, a nurse, or a retiree. Employer and occupation disclosures add context to the individual-donation category.
These are individuals’ personal donations. An employer name does not mean the company paid, directed, or endorsed the contribution. Occupations are reported text, not a verified executive or lobbyist registry.

This search can miss secondary respondents, renamed committees, archived files, and personal cases. It does not cover every FEC enforcement program, criminal court, or ethics investigation. Missing coverage or no match is not a clean bill of health.
This is a coverage gap, not a finding about their conduct. The same source standards apply to every candidate.

Unitemized is a disclosure category, not a count of small donors.
Contributions exclude loans, transfers, and other receipts. Committee contributions include PACs and other political committees. See definitions ↗
These categories help explain why total receipts differ from contributions.
Receipts and spending can include money moved between a candidate’s own committees. Refunds are listed separately; contributions above are gross reported amounts.
The latest matching record from each of up to 12 committees, ordered by transaction date. Each amount is a single reported transaction, not that committee’s total giving. Filings may include amendments, memo entries, and negative adjustments.
