About the data
Totals raised come from the FEC's summary of every committee authorized by Thomas Laehn, over the whole election period. The rankings cover the 2025–2026 cycle: the itemized contributions reported by the principal campaign committee (THOMAS LAEHN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE, INCORPORATED), 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.
