Where this comes from
All numbers on this page come from the Federal Election Commission's public bulk-data files. We pull every FEC cycle from 1980 through 2026 and total each candidate's contributions, expenditures, and outside spending.
Direct contributions (transaction codes 24K, 24C, 24F, 24Z, 24R, 24T) are money given to the candidate's authorized committees. Outside spending (codes 24E and 24A) is money spent by outside groups for or against the candidate without coordination.
