Contributions are not broken down by size, and employers are not named. Washington collects an employer field for individual contributions, and gift-size banding is what separates a committee funded by a hundred neighbours from one funded by three donors. We store only the largest contributors, so neither analysis is possible here — and computing concentration from a top-ten list would produce a confident number that is simply wrong.

How concentrated the money is

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

66%

from the top 10 donors

Out of 100 itemised contributors in total.

100

itemised contributors

Who it came from

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

Money out — where it went

total spent

109.4%

of what it raised

Above 100% means it spent more this cycle than it took in — ordinary for a committee carrying a balance forward.

largest payees listed

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.

A further $2,110 was reported as small expenses. Washington lets a committee report spending below a threshold as a single lump with no payee. That money is in the total above and cannot be broken out by anyone, including us.

Does it add up

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

Reported contributions $17,966
Reported expenditures − $19,646
Overspend $1,680

This committee reports spending more than it raised. That is not necessarily an error and is not an accusation. Contribution and expenditure reports are filed on different schedules, so a committee can appear overdrawn simply because its latest contribution report has not landed yet. We publish the subtraction rather than hiding it; the filings themselves are linked below.

Across cycles

Other filings under the same PDC committee id.

Only one cycle on file. We hold a single filing for committee 11412. That means it registered for one election, or that our sync covers only the cycles this one falls in — the filings do not distinguish the two.

What this page will not compute

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.
