Democratic $318.4K (100%) · $318.4K total · by recipient party

Contributions dated Jan 29, 2023 through Nov 2, 2024; latest amendment per committee transaction, memo rows excluded, refund entries included.

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. Totals can include both a conduit’s and a recipient’s report of the same contribution and are not verified net contributions after refunds.
