Top 15 of 121 committees, $465,694 total. Each links to that committee's own FEC page, where its donors are listed in turn. This counts contributions the committee actually received. Independent expenditures — money spent for or against them by groups they do not control — are a separate thing and appear below, not here.

| Direction | Amount (net) |

| Independent expenditures supporting them | $8 |

Spent by groups acting independently of the campaign. Net of amendments, so a total can read negative when corrections outweigh new spending. Source: FEC independent expenditures.

361 item(s) totalling $763,787 across 2024–2026 filings, reported by lobbying registrants and lobbyists on form LD-203. By category: FECA $763,787 (361). These are their disclosures, not this person's: twice a year, registrants must report political contributions and certain honorary payments. An entry here means a lobbying organisation reported money to a committee of theirs or to an event honouring them — it is not a payment to them personally, and it is not evidence of any arrangement. The categories are not equivalent: FECA items are ordinary campaign contributions, while inaugural, library and honorary entries are payments to separate funds that carry no contribution limits.

Read this as a correlation and nothing more. A member sits on the committee that matches their district, and the industries there fund them for the same reason they are there. It is a question worth asking, not an answer.
Their ten largest PAC donors supplied 21% of all PAC money they received.
Everything in the money tables on this page is campaign money, not personal money. It belongs to a political committee, not to the person. The two are separate by law, and this page never mixes them.
| Term | What it is | Whose pocket |
|---|---|---|
| Money in | Contributions a committee received — from individuals, from other political committees (PACs), from party committees. Capped per donor per election and itemised above $200. | The committee's account. Not personal income, and not taxable to the candidate. |
| Money out | What the committee spent: staff, consultants, advertising, travel, rent, card processing, taxes, and contributions to other candidates. Mostly vendors, not politics. | Paid to outside businesses and people. A payee is a supplier, not a beneficiary of a gift. |
| Outside spending | Money spent for or against someone by groups acting independently, who may not coordinate with the campaign. | Never touches the candidate's committee. They cannot direct it or refuse it. |
| Personal finances | Salary, assets, debts, stock trades, outside income, a spouse's employment. | The person's own accounts — not shown in any FEC table. It appears only in the financial-disclosure filings linked in their own section. |
Can campaign money become private money? Not lawfully. Converting campaign funds to personal use is prohibited by 52 U.S.C. § 30114, and the FEC applies an "irrespective test": if the expense would exist even without the campaign — a mortgage, a country-club membership, household groceries — campaign funds cannot pay for it. Salaries to the candidate are allowed only within narrow limits, and payments to a candidate's own business must be at fair market value.
So where would private enrichment show up? Not in the tables above. It would show in the financial-disclosure filings — assets, outside income, stock transactions — or in payments from a committee to a business the person owns, which appear as ordinary payees in "money out". This page gives you both sets of records and leaves the reading to you.
