Campaign contributions

Every itemized contribution from an individual to a federal candidate, party or political committee, as reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC): who gave, where they live, their employer and occupation as reported, how much, when and to whom. Each contribution links to the FEC's image of the report it came from.

Leaderboards

What this covers, and what it doesn't

• Itemized contributions only: committees must itemize a donor once their gifts pass $200 in a cycle. Smaller gifts are reported as a lump sum and don't appear here.
• Names, employers and addresses are as the committees reported them. Different people with the same name in the same zip code are grouped together on donor pages; check the employer and city.
• Memo entries (marked “memo”) restate money reported elsewhere, such as contributions passed through a conduit like ActBlue or WinRed. They are listed but left out of totals so nothing is counted twice.
• Links to people on this site require the same normalized name and an employer that matches one of the organizations the person is listed at in Form 990 filings.
• Source: FEC bulk data (fec.gov), reloaded weekly for the current and previous cycle.

Federal law bars using contributor names and addresses from FEC reports to solicit contributions or for commercial purposes (52 U.S.C. 30111(a)(4)).
