About the data
Totals raised come from the FEC's summary of every committee authorized by Brian Burley. The rankings cover the itemized contributions reported by the principal campaign committee (BRIAN BURLEY FOR CONGRESS), net of refunds and excluding memo entries. A contribution made through a conduit such as ActBlue or WinRed is reported under the person who gave it.
