FEC candidate H2MN05208 · 2023–2024 reporting period
Accountability coverage for Don Mr. Samuels. The same FEC matching rules apply to every candidate in the indexed financial snapshots. Records span years beyond the 2024 funding cycle. Campaign respondents and personal conduct are identified separately.
5,759 candidates checked · 7,669 FEC case titles scanned · retrieved Sep 15, 2026 · limited name matching
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.
