Democratic $1,000 (0.5%) · Republican $103.5K (49.1%) · Other $106.4K (50.4%) · $210.9K total · by recipient party

Contributions dated Feb 21, 2025 through Sep 29, 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.
