Let’s Go Washington (Sponsored by Brian Heywood)

01

Money in — who funds this committee

The largest reported contributions. Washington requires committees to itemise contributions above a threshold; smaller gifts are reported in aggregate.

02

How the money was gathered

The PDC types every contributor. This does not follow a committee’s own money back to a person — see what this page does not show — but it does say how much arrived from individuals rather than from other organisations.

03

Employers behind the individual gifts

The employer of each individual contribution, as self-reported by the contributor. A company named here did not give and did not report — the string is the donor’s, normalised by us.

Colleagues who gave on the same day

Three or more people sharing an employer, giving to this committee on a single date. Money arriving together is the pattern; a shared employer on its own is not.

Employers behind more than one donor

Across the whole cycle rather than a single day. Weaker than the table above, and included because a slow accumulation from one workplace is still worth being able to see.

04

How concentrated the money is

Computed from every itemised contribution rather than from the largest few, which is what makes the share meaningful.

05

Money out — where it went

Who it paid

Largest payees, with the category the committee chose when filing. A consultancy, printer or polling firm appearing across many committees is a fact about who runs campaigns in Washington.

06

Independent expenditures by party

Money this committee reported spending for or against someone without coordinating with them. Kept apart from its ordinary spending, because folding the two together would misstate both.

07

When the money moved

Itemised contributions in and expenditures out, by the month on the filing. Unitemised small-dollar totals carry no dates and are not in this chart — the money-in section states them.

Does it add up

The arithmetic, in the open. Reported contributions less reported spending is what the committee should still be holding.

Reported contributions $3,311,722

Reported expenditures − $3,003,154

Implied balance $308,567

This is what the two filings imply, not a bank balance. Committees also report cash on hand directly, and the two figures can differ where a report is outstanding.

What this page does not show

Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.

Who is really behind a committee that funds this one

We show every contributor the committee reported, and how much of its money came from organisations rather than individuals. A committee funded by another committee is common, and following that chain to the people at the end of it means joining filings across organisations and cycles — a join we have not made, and one that would be wrong to guess at.

Who the independent spending was aimed at

The filings name the candidate or measure each independent expenditure supported or opposed. We hold the amounts and which way they cut, but have not joined them to those records, so the page says how much and not against whom.

Whether the spending worked

We hold what was raised, what was spent, and in some cases the result. Connecting them would be a causal claim from two numbers, and spending is not the only thing that moves an election.

Anything below the itemisation threshold

Washington lets small contributions and small expenses be reported as lump sums with no counterparty. That money is in the totals and cannot be broken out by anyone, including the PDC. Where a lump is large, the page says so.
