Where the money went, 2025–26

Gifts of $100,000 or more in the FEC's processed filings, matched on the donor's name; smaller gifts, mostly to candidates, are not included. Recipients include candidates, super PACs and party committees. A candidate below is flagged only for money traceable to the donor in filings (direct gifts, or spending by the donor's own committees); when a super PAC the donor funded spends in a race, it appears on that race's page with the donor named on its row. Recent gifts can take weeks to appear.
