How these records are matched
A conservative grouping of federal contribution rows with this exact filed name and five-digit ZIP. ZIP+4 extensions are retained as evidence but ignored for matching. This is a reported identity cluster, not yet a verified person-level entity.
Contributions by recipient party and committee type
Recipient party from FEC registration, linked candidates, or affirmative support activity
Recipient party affiliation
Contributions grouped by each recipient’s reported party or inferred alignment
Recipient committee type
Type of political committee receiving the contribution
Party totals describe recipients, not the contributor’s party registration or beliefs. FEC-reported and linked-candidate parties take precedence over inferred activity. Opposition to a candidate does not count as support for another party. Open a recipient to inspect its classification evidence and separate support and opposition disclosures.
Money network
Contributor-to-committee connections sized by absolute reported transaction total
Showing 0 of 0 loaded matching connections on the left and 1 of 1 on the right, up to 10 per side by absolute amount. This is not the full transaction history. Party filters include mixed-party contributions or activity. Full connection amounts are shown, not just the selected party’s share. Party labels use reported party information or inferred contributions/activity—not an individual’s party registration.
Contributions by recipient committee
1 recipient committees · largest reported totals first · expand an arrow for transactions
Reported totals sum current non-memo transactions, including reported refund entries, and can include both a conduit’s and a recipient’s report of the same contribution. These are not verified net contributions after refunds. Expand a recipient to inspect transaction types, reporting sides and source records.

Source & identity status
Trace every claim back to the public record
The FEC publishes names and addresses as reported, but does not assign a persistent ID to each individual contributor. GovMoneyGraph links variants here only when employer and location or occupation evidence corroborates compatible names; conflicting middle initials remain separate. These heuristic clusters stay reviewable until promoted into the persistent entity graph through the labeled gold-set process.
