average contribution
Total divided by reported contributors.
Spent by other people
Independent expenditures — money spent by committees, parties or unions advocating for or against this candidate. It is not the candidate’s money and is not included above. By law it is spent without coordinating with the campaign, so it is neither a favour accepted nor an attack invited.
| Position | Reported |
|---|---|
| Supporting this candidate | $0 |
| Opposing this candidate | $0 |
This does not say who spent it. The totals come from the candidate’s own record. Which committees spent the money, and on what, is filed separately by those committees — we hold that data but have not yet joined it to this page.

Where this page comes from
Every figure above is read from the candidate’s own filings with the Public Disclosure Commission. Nothing here is estimated, modelled or inferred.
This is a filing, not a live balance. Campaigns report on a schedule, and amend afterwards. The figures are what had been filed when we last read the record — 2026-07-28, and the PDC is authoritative where it disagrees.
Money is not a prediction. The better-funded candidate frequently loses. This page shows who paid for a campaign; it does not show who won, and it makes no claim about either.
A candidate is not the same record as an officeholder. What someone says while running and how they vote once serving are separate questions, kept on separate pages.
