Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down everything the campaign raised: the candidate’s own money (including self-loans), individuals (including unitemized small gifts), organizations and PACs, and “other” (in-kind contributions, loans other than the candidate’s, and the like) — open its “Why this number?” for the full breakdown. Gift-size and location figures cover itemized contributions only. Aggregates count everyone who gave, including donors below the $200 disclosure floor — a share across all donors identifies no one. Full definition →

The candidate’s own money made up 27% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 65%, organizations and PACs 8%.

Candidate’s own money $5K · 27% Individuals $13K · 65% Organizations & PACs $2K · 8%

Share from the candidate compares from the candidate's own money with everything the campaign raised.

Show formula

Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), individuals, organizations and PACs, and everything else — loans other than the candidate's, in-kind contributions, and (for federal filers) committee transfers and other receipts. Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is the candidate divided by the total.

From the candidate's own money: $5,400 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $20,112

Average gift per individual donor compares total from individual donors with individual donors.

Show formula

Every individual donor's total contributions to this campaign, divided by the number of individual donors. Organizations and PACs are excluded (this measures people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. The median and the gift-size buckets are computed over the same individual-donor totals. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).

Loans

$11,700.00 in loan balances shown. $2,700.00 was borrowed in this campaign; $9,000.00 was carried into these filings from an earlier period. Later reports can repeat an outstanding loan, so each reconstructed lender balance is counted once below.

Loan principal shown adds together the amounts listed below.

Show formula

Loan schedules can repeat an outstanding debt on later reports. This is the reconstructed principal for each lender, counted once, split between candidate or family loans and all other lenders. Repayments and outstanding balances are shown separately in the ledger.

Where the money went Each expenditure carries a short description of what it was for, written by the campaign. We sort those descriptions into a fixed set of categories; one expenditure goes in one category, so the amounts add up to Jamita E. Swearengen’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

  • Advertising & media $7,915 40%
  • Consulting & professional services $7,250 37%
  • Office & operations $3,269 17%
  • Other $905 5%
  • Printing & mail $250 1%

Loans

Campaign loans
Lender Amount Date Received Outstanding Repaid

Of the $11,700 lent, $2,700 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $9,000 was drawn before them and is still listed because it has not been fully repaid — so it counts as debt this campaign owes, not as money it raised.

Each loan shows its balance from the candidate's most recent filing; a candidate's self-loans are combined into a single line. Repayments since that filing appear when the next report is filed.
