About the data
Totals raised come from the FEC's summary of every committee authorized by Shri Thanedar. The rankings cover the itemized contributions reported by the principal campaign committee (SHRI 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.
Industries are assigned from each contributor's reported employer. Figures change as the campaign files new and amended reports.
