Democratic $2,270 (100%) · $2,270 total · by recipient party

Contributions dated Mar 28, 2025 through Aug 4, 2026; 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.

Compliance review · No open linked indicators

Automated review indicators, not findings of a violation. Exact reported records are linked; identity is not independently verified. Reported lobbyist-bundling disclosures are not counted as issues.

Includes the exact reported name/ZIP pairs grouped on this profile. A grouped profile is not independent confirmation that every record belongs to the same person.

Latest cycle-wide scan: Oct 18, 2026 · Index refreshed: Oct 18, 2026. Coverage is limited to loaded records and implemented checks.

How these records are matched

A high-confidence grouping of compatible filed-name and address variants corroborated by reported employer, occupation, and location evidence. ZIP+4 extensions are retained as evidence but ignored for matching. This is a reported identity cluster, not yet a verified person-level entity.

Search official FEC records

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.
